Tuesday, February 6, at the Night Hotel
By this point, Fashion week had begun to wear on me, but I made my way over to the Night Hotel to see what Jacques Lorette was all about. I had received an invite through a friend for this event and had thought it would be a runway show. Post two pomegranate martinis, I came to find that it was a launch party. A group of social models walked through the gathered crowd with the spring 2007 "JL by Jacques Lorette" Bleeding Heart t-shirt collection.
A young designer and graduate of Cornell University, Jacques is a promising entrepreneur, with much experience already under her design belt. She has been working independently, but after browsing her website, it looks like she would do well designing at a luxury design house. My opinion, I think she has the potential of making a presence in the New York Fashion World. As many of you know, it takes time and substantial experiences and recognition breaks to make it in the competitive fashion design world, usually 10 years is the marker. Jacques, keep it up, and I look forward to seeing runway shows from you in the future.
