Zang Toi’s romantic aesthetics was beautifully carried
through his runway collection with soft pastel colors and delicate fabrics as
his Spring/Summer 2013 collection was inspired by the romantic French
Riviera. One can close his eyes and be
transported to an epic novel set within the blooming gardens of a chateau;
sweet pink roses and lilacs enveloping you- this is the feeling invoked.
Without a question Zang Toi has some of the most loyal
followings, from celebrities to the career New York woman; all clamor to take a
seat at Zang’s runway show to see first-hand what new and exciting creations he
has to unveil. Each season notable names like Kristie Alley, New York’s Real
Housewives Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and Alex Van Kempen; NBA star Matt
Barnes along with his wife Gloria Govan and her sister Laura Govan both from
the hit show Basketball Wives LA on VH1, are among the many taking front row
seats next to some of fashion’s most powerful editors and elites. Even famed
photographer Bill Cunningham swoops in at the last minute with his trademark
camera to sit in Zang Toi’s show. Each season I look for several components that truly make a Zang Toi collection special. First, I have come to expect his romantic aesthetic with impeccably constructed ready to wear ensembles and dresses that extenuate any woman’s body while giving her a regal stature. The next thing I look for is the bold accessories usually a neckwear piece to die for that’s made with oversized gems, stones, or crystals; quintessential Zang Toi. Lastly, I look forward to a well-choreographed show that leaves the audience and me looking for more and restless in anticipation for the next look to debut on the runway. It may be unrealistic to expect perfection, but Zang Toi always delivers, and I am never disappointed. I look forward to another spectacular season and what surprise Zang Toi will deliver.
