Jayson Brundson September 2008 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week The Tents at Bryant Park September 11, 2007 Written by Janet Perisa Photographed by Katherin Wermke

A note to New York City style stalwarts: if you are not familiar with the Jayson Brunsdon label then I urge you to learn the name and own it. Without a doubt, Brundson is Australia’s hottest import since a spandex-clad Olivia Newton John strutted through the 80s. This was Brundson’s second year at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and nothing but glamour glittered down the runway: seductive silk dresses in lustrous shades of emerald, pearl, topaz and rose were accented with delicate Asian motifs. Many of his A-line silhouettes were shaded with a black outline which created the flattering affect of a trimmer waistline. Despite the tall, slender physiques of the models who exhibited Brunsdon’s latest collection for spring, one could easily imagine these dresses flattering a fuller frame, something that’s rarely seen on the runway. This was one of the most refreshing aspects of the collection and one that will definitely broaden his current fan-base.

The Jayson Brunsdon collection can be found in luxury department stores and boutiques. For more information, log on to: www.jaysonbrunsdon.com.
