The Gilded Age Installation The Woolworth Building 233 Broadway @ Barclay February 2, 2008 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Katherin Wermke Opposite Photo: Models John Paul, Jimmy Knehans and Tobias

Gilded Age designer Stefan Miljanic showed his Gilded Age Collection downtown at the historic Woolworth Building. The Woolworth Building was the perfect location to showcase Miljanic's rich-preppy-from-down-east designs. Fashion is always about context and juxtaposing Miljanic's casual wear, created with the richest of natural fabrics and dyes, against the opulent excesses of the Woolworth Building was a brilliant choice. And this briliant choice was certainly enhanced by the presence of a New Orleans style jazz band and a bar which featured old fashioned New York Style black and white cookies.

According to the press release, Stefan had previously worked as a designer for Calvin Klein, Swiss Army, Banana Republic, and Abercrombie and Fitch. This luxury but mainstream experience certainly shows in his line. Gilded Age is primed to be a huge success both on the East Coast and the hinterland where it will attract the same type of customers who have made Ralph Lauren a household name.
