biohazard spring 2012...

the fabulous AND gorgeous stacy lomman has done it again...and to say that i am obsessed with this dress...would be an understatement...isn't it amazing??









so...i have to say...the first thing that i loved about this collection...was all the color...which if you knew stacy...you would know...she is not into color...or at least doesn't wear a lot of it...we've talked on numerous occasions about my love for color...and well her love for black...oh...and she loves white...

stacy and i first met on twitter...and it was a week before fashion week last year in new york...that we talked about possibly meeting face to face...but hello...it was a week before her show...so it didn't happen...but...i can still call her my friend...and brag about how absolutely fabulously talented she is...

take a peak at her spring 2012 collection...and try not to swoon...biohazard...as stacy will explain...is the name of her collection...

a few funny tidbits about the show...that's official "radioactive" tape on the zipper pull of the dress i love...kind of unique...stacy got that from her sister's lab...

oh...and the bride's face mask was from the lab of the guy who invented gatorade...courtesy of stacy's sister...

and the guest goodie bags at the show...contained...official...ziploc/lab specimen/biohazard bags...

aren't you dying to know why she called her collection biohazard?? take a look at the video clip below to see all her fabulous pieces...to which...may i add...she poured over each piece with her own hands...did i mention how talented she is?



my hope is that next year...i will be able to see her show "live"...
