NYFW: Rafael Cennamo SS 2012

Up-and-coming (not to mention super cute) designer Rafael Cennamo's first real throw at New York Fashion Week was this week, for his Spring 2012 collection. Mr. Cennamo, who has been designing his line for years, showed for his first time at Lincoln Center this season!

"It feels like I am now really part of fashion, you know," Mr. Cennamo said during his presentation. "I feel super excited. I took my time, and I am very happy."

The 22-dress collection was lovely. Cennamo took inspiration from collectable dolls, and hair and makeup on his models really pushed that idea. Dresses were organized, distinctive, and were presented by style and color. Cennamo turned heavily to white, lilac, and black. The palette, if seemingly flat, was anything BUT that with tremendous detailing of lace, beads, and feathers.

The mood was relatively light in The Box. Servers passed champagne, each with a single raspberry at awaiting at bottom. Whitney Port, of MTV's The City, enjoyed the showing. "It's gorgeous, so pretty," she said.
