Hosting the Women’s Mafia Fashion Show and Fashion Week Kick-Off Party last night was the most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on – and they were actually Meiling Chen’s clothes!
I am immensely greatful to soo many people. Please see a few sneak peak photos below, by Dag Bennstrom, and check back later tonight and this week for many more photos and coverage by StyleMusicTV and others. I am also sharing the credit and acknowledgements info with you all, so that you can know how to get in touch with the designers and who helped bring everything together!
baci e abbracci,
Marcy Clark
