The people at Models.com did a good blog post of some of the freshest faces in the modeling world that walked at our New York show:

There are plenty of fresh designers showing their wares in the tents this season, but the Academy of Art University show offers up something special. Six talented students ( Beathany Meuleners, Hyo Sun, Marina Solomatnikova, Naomi Sutton, Sabah Mansoor, Stephen Oo ) are given the chance to exhibit their collections, with a full show featuring the best in models. Backstage was a who’s who of beautiful faces: Tao, Alana, Edythe, the list goes on. The chosen six students showed a wide array of looks and their talent was evident in each and every piece.

Our New York Fashion Week show definitely “Entertained”

Each week, when I get my issue of Entertainment Weekly, I immediately flip to the back page to take a gander at their snarky “Bullseye” which they describe as “…pop culture news that is right on target for the week - and the events that missed the mark.”

As I was laughing at their witty remarks about popular culture, I immediately noticed something in the lower left quadrant. Take a look and see if you can spot what I am talking about.

Yup. That’s a piece from Naomi Sutton’s Fashion Week collection! It’s actually an honor to be included in a pop culture magazine - and we’ll take the comparison to HBO’s Big Love as a compliment.

And just in case you’re wondering, here’s the look in it’s entirety:
