What: Richard Chai LOVE Fall 2011 Collection
When: Thursday Feb. 10th, 11AM
Where: Lincoln Center, The Stage

Richard Chai's much anticipated Fall '11 collection, entitled LOVE, dazzled us this morning. LOVE featured a fabulous collection of menswear-inspired pieces. Of the 28 looks we saw, many featured layering...and lots of it! Oversized trousers paired with tweed blazers and athletic coats served as the season's essentials in cream, gray, dark green and jet black. The femininity dazzled through a terrific display of metallic embroidered silk tanks and ruffled blouses, paired with beautiful maxi skirts that emphasized the slender shape of the models and the clothes moved elegantly with them.
