Toni Maticevski: Heartbreak Hotel
The Lobby of Hotel Roger Williams on Madison Avenue served as the backdrop for Toni Maticevski’s (Toni Maticevski Spring 2009 RTW show)Spring/Summer 2009 collection for NYC Fashion Week. It was the most intimate affair I’ve been to yet with only three small rows of seating. Adding to that affect, Maticevski played the most amazing soundtrack. Emotionally charged songs like This Woman’s Work by Kate Bush, Get Here by Oleta Adams, and Secret Love by Doris Day set the tone of the collection from the start. Black, white, and champagne were the dominate colors throughout the show. Each model descended the hotel steps and walked ever so slowly to the music. The energy in the room was powerful with a combination of heart-wrenching melodies and weightless, airy dresses made from satin, beautiful sheer fabrics, and incredibly delicate lace. No joke, I was a bit teary-eyed by the end, and when I walked out I wondered, “What lovely spell did Toni Maticevski just put on me?” ~ Maria Denardo
