TWINKLE FALL 2009 FASHION SHOW AT CLASSIC CAR CLUB

Twinkle by Wenlan took a step back in time to create a standout fashion-forward Fall 2009 Collection. Hosted at the Classic Car Club in SoHo, the Collection was presented amidst vintage cars and a movie projector showcasing Roman Holiday. Glass bottled Cola Cola and freshly popped popcorn contributed to the drive-in movie vibe, while St Supery’ white wine, Preseco’ sparkling wine and Marie Belle’s fine chocolates emphasized the high fashion revelation.

 

Guests stood level with models donning Twinkle Fall 2009, strutting the new looks and playfully lingering on the cars. An upclose and personal inspection displyed the further meshing of opposites: masculine plaids with feminine florals; double-sided wool with flirty silk and bouncing georgette; crinkled chiffon with web-like knits. John Ruidant of Redken brought movement through flowing curls while Gregory Arlt of MAC added pizzaz with vivacious red lips on flawlessly fresh faces.

 

The crowd left buzzing - a combination of the wine and thrill of the new collection - having paid homage to the past and eager to take that next step into fashion future.
