Fashion Week Day 3

Today I caught up with “Project Runway” mentor Tim Gunn, who was sitting front row at the Tracy Reese show. Of course, I had to ask him about Kayne Gillaspie, Oklahoma’s favorite “Project Runway” competitor.

“I love Kayne,” he said.

I told him about Kayne’s new eveningwear collection, introduced in August at the Atlanta apparel market, debuting on the runway in Oklahoma City Sunday night and he seemed genuinely excited and happy.

“He deserves it,” he said. “I think he can have as big a future as he wants.”

His talent for designing pageant gowns and prom dresses is something to celebrate, Gunn said. He does it with such delight, such great passion.

“He has a pure soul.”

Kayne probably would have loved Tadashi Shoji’s show Sunday morning. The evening and cocktail pieces were embellished and woven, draped and layered. Two of the best: a silver/gray metallic liquid jersey bustier evening gown and a gold and silver strapless gown with leather belted bodice and silk organza skirt.

The cocktail dresses were all worn with tights. Get ready, it’s a trend.
