Creative Director Raul Melgoza debuted LUCA LUCA’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. Melgoza’s collection is inspired by the adventures to be discovered in the deep woods—the beauty, the color, the fantasy. Raul has created a sophisticated forest-inspired look by juxtaposing fabrics such as leather, suede and lace to create texture and dimension.

{THE SHOW!}

Minus the many black evening dresses, Raul wasn't afraid to play with color. Models strutted the runway in bright looks. We saw lots of contrasting fabrics like brocade tops paired with lace skirts and leather pieces in fall hues. This Fall the Luca Luca lady is sophisticated and chic but not afraid to play with color. We got a great sense of warmth on this freezing cold day! 

NYFW: Luca Luca S/S 2011 Collection

The Luca Luca s/s11 runway collection was all about the ethereal, soft look. With SILK maxi dresses in soft patterned yellow, flowy cape jackets in neutrals, and draped, chiffon salmon day dresses that moved with the models, the collection literally took our breath away and gave us an element of goddess. Make up was by James Kaliardos for MAC, and the look was sheer and soft. Hair was by Teddy Charles with Cutler Salon and the look was pulled back and twisted on each side and rolled into an intricate bun at the base of the neck. This show was uber-feminine and simply stunning.
