I was given the opportunity to go to Rolando Santana’s Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Show by 24 Blogazine and Irene Myers during New York Fashion Week. First of all, I have to send a huge THANK YOU to both the lovely ladies for the invite and also for putting up with my overexcitedness. Secondly, what a great collection and show put on by Rolando Sanatana!

The fashion show was held at The Griffin in the Meat Packing District and the ambiance reminded me a bit of some of the Fall 2010 shows in Paris because of the more intimate setting and non-tent sterile look and feel that you see at some  shows. The music went from romantic to upbeat to match the mood of the clothes.

My favorite pieces of the collection were the separates. Yes, Santana is known for his dresses, maybe because they are such great ready to wear ones, but a couple of his shorts and the one Chanel-esque coat he showed were the pieces I loved the most.

Among the dresses shown, here are my favorites:
