New York Fashion Spring 2007: Tamara Pogosian

The Tamara Pogosian show had a light, airy feel that was a welcome break from the tents. The space at Exit Art on Tenth Ave. was a great space to show off an emerging designer’s collection. Like a batch of the collections seen so far for spring, there seemed to be a pre-WWII feel to some of the pieces. In the beginning, I felt like the dresses were replicas of one another in different prints. Halter and strapless (blouson top) dresses were a strong presence for the women and the 40’s and 70’s were inspiration for the menswear. I personally enjoyed Tamara’s subtlety, varying from soft prints like sails to vibrant colors. Tamara really has a future of designing for the young, style conscious that dominate the industry’s audience and I look forward to her future collections. Two guest models in her show demonstrated Tamara’s reach into the next generation: Emmy nominated actress Leven Rambin, and runner-up from last season’s America’s Next Top Model, NIk.
