As many of you know, New York Fashion Week is going on right now.  I’ll be there on Wednesday (which I’m TOTALLY excited for), but in the meantime, I’ve had to follow the shows from here in Los Angeles on the Internet and social media.  And when I saw the pics from Joseph Altuzarra’s show yesterday, I was totally blown away … so much so that I knew that today I had to do a Wayne’s World-style “We’re Not Worthy” post in praise of him.

Altuzarra’s clothes are classy but with a little bit of sensuality, whether it be from a thigh-high slit or immaculate tailoring that accentuates a woman’s curves.  I can wear them to work, but rather than feeling swallowed (like I do with typical business attire that can be so boxy that it seems like I’m embarrassed by my femininity), I feel like a really great version of myself, totally confident in my role as a woman in business.  Plus, the colors or prints are usually so amazing.  I’ve heard that Altuzarra is just a really nice, happy guy, and I think that’s reflected in his clothes.

Here, for example, I’m wearing his canary yellow button-down dress that I got last season from MatchesFashion (http://www.matchesfashion.com) (the sleeveless version of this dress and the skirt are still available on sale).  It’s so vibrant that it literally brightens a room when I walk in, and then there’s this great fringe detailing, both of which combine to make wearing it a lot of fun — even (or perhaps ESPECIALLY) at the office.  I couldn’t take away from the dress, so I paired it with these great nude Christian Louboutin ankle-strap heels that I got from Saks Fifth Avenue (http://www.saks.com).

Altuzarra based his latest collection on David Lynch’s 1990 movie Wild at Heart, which I REALLY love since I too am influenced by pop culture.  Set forth below are some of my favorite looks from the show, all courtesy of Imaxtree.  (FYI — I cannot WAIT to get that snakeskin shirt dress.)
