Zang Toi Fall 2008 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week The Tents at Bryant Park February 8, 2008 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Katherin Wermke Click here for The Scene Backstage

Zang Toi’s fashions are famous for epitomizing romance, glamour and sex appeal. For Fall 2008, Zang designed his line with the inspiration of the American aristocracy who vacationed in "magnificent and sumptuous log cabins [that] were built by William Avery Rockefeller.... [and] personified the romantic notion of roughing it in luxurious and glamour style."

The line utilized a palette of rich reds and greens mixed with basic black and white. There were rich furs to add glamour; there were no blue jeans walking down this runway. The clothes are pure enchantment for the man and woman who loves to dress up and delight their friends.

As I was leaving the show, one of Zang's friends stopped me and said, "I think that red dress (the one in our top photo) would look beautiful on Michelle Obama at the inauguration." Hmm!
