LOS ANGELES, Oct 28, 2004/FW – Tuesday night at Smashbox Studios, bicycle loving / riding
Nony Tochterman has decided to let the little girl in her grow up some presenting 37 romantic
and not-so-innocent-anymore looks for Petro Zillia Spring / Summer 2005 collection.
But don’t think that she had forgotten how to have fun, because the signature high fashion whimsical looks that she is so well known for is still there.
Seen seated in the front row are a number of A-list celebs - Rick Fox of the L.A. Lakers, Paula Abdul of American Idol and Donald Faison of Scrubs who came in quite late ended up on second row, just to name a few.
With a painted backdrop of the countryside and music provided by her friends' band (which inspired her of this collection), The Ditty Bops, one can very simply imagine Nony riding around on her bicycle to her life's content.
Nony showed some very fun and playful prints as in her pink and red tree print on silk chiffon top with smocked waist for example that seemed to float on air as the model walked by.
She added the very delicate touch of thin piping on her pencil skirts, bermuda pants and belted jacket.
And as the new trend in L.A. seems to be ruffles, this good designer gave us her share on her dresses and skirts.
Not forgetting the bow, pom pom and lace up details on some of her pieces as well as the inverted box pleats, representing the whimsical trait Nony has always had.
The show being created for the spring and summer, Nony chose soft hues in aqua orchid, brown orchid, pink, lime and the very delicious candy stripe.
Her grown up pieces included the multi-color ribbon fitted strapless dress and the pink ultrasuede halter vest with knit detail over multi-color, multi layer pleated tulle floor length skirt.
A very good collection for our fun loving Nony Techterman of Petro Zillia.
