An Evening Of Emerging Talent At Gen Art's "Fresh Faces In Fashion"

The folks at Gen Art have always had a knack for finding some of the best talent in fashion. In fact, designers like Zac Posen, Chaiken, Phillip Lim and Rebecca Taylor are all icons that have grown from the Gen Art name. So when their yearly "Fresh Faces in Fashion" event makes its way to San Francisco, swarms of the fashion elite flock to the Regency Center to see the emerging talent. Now in its 5th year in San Francisco, six designers presented their collections down a 60 foot gleaming white runway, while four accessories designers showcased their talent at the event's after-party. I had the joy of sitting front row at the event (and by the way, I was sitting right across from Kara Saun from "Project Runway" season one). From mediocre models and "been there done that" detailing to gorgeous gowns and thoughtful design, I got to see every stitch and sew up close and personal. Read on for my runway commentary, and click the slideshow for a taste of the collections.
