Ports 1961 Pre-Spring 2010 Collection Presentation

Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the Ports 1961 Pre-Spring Presentation. It took place in the Meatpacking District, in the midst of a torrential downpour. There's something extremely amusing showing up to a fashion show, resembling a drowned rat.



The presentation was delightfully small and informal. Unlike your standard runway show, the small setting allowed for a much more close-up perusal of the clothing, hanging on racks and displayed by models. An ideal environment for a blogger.



The collection did not fail to impress: beautiful, clean pieces, that harken back to classic standards, yet all the while completely fresh and modern in their simple comfort and sensibility of form.





A perfect example of some of the detail one can appreciate in such an informal, personal showing.





One of my personal favorite pieces was a series of crocheted necklaces. They feel so organic, and quirky in a lovely way.
