F/W 2011 "Dark Dawn" - finally on the runway!

This collection was intended for a Manhattan launch in February 2011. But as Nolcha Fashion Week cancelled their runway shows only a month or so in advance, one had to improvise. Excerpts were shown at Nolchas Fashion Lounge instead the 10th, then at a rather unmentionable event in Oslo the 14th, and finally in the French embassy in DC the 27th.

I was invited to DC long time before this, but a promise to another Norwegian designer about a common show held me back a year ago. Then I did not make another collection, but had a reuse show at the Miss Norway finale instead of a new launch. The New York runway cancellation, however, gave room for a participation this year. Here are the pictures (a commented version will be published later):
