  • Story Text: Designer Rebecca Taylor dreamed up sexy yet feminine clothes for Fall 2011 with the confident young 1970s woman in mind for her runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.
    "If you think of like a 1970's type Jerry Hall woman. She's very sexy, very cool, very sensual. Sort of maybe set in like a nightclub in Paris," said Taylor.
    So a wrap skirt in magenta made its flirtatious way down her runway with a black jacket and black blouse. A cut-away spot flashed a bit of bare skin -- just enough to provoke intrigue.
    That arresting pink, also known as magenta, made another entrance as a skinny cashmere pant with gray blouse and a tweed coat embellished with sequins.
    The colors - electric blue, liquid orange, purple - recalled the neon signs of a weekend night's pub crawl. These jewel tones popped against shades of gray and plenty of black.
    Taylor, a New Zealand native who came to New York City in the mid-1990s with the dream of starting her own fashion label, is known for clothes with a light and feminine appeal.
    Actress Sarah Jessica Parker of "Sex and the City" fame is among the celebrities with a penchant for Taylor's clothes.
    One look in her all-2011 collection strayed from the bright-and-dark party clothes. This one was classic Rebecca Taylor: a languid ankle-grazing dress with short fluttery sleeves in a Bordeaux print, worn with strappy sandals.
    "Every year has its own subtleties to it, like every show. But as I was joking with my staff earlier, we are like seasonal workers. Well you know, we come in we do our thing twice a year, you know. We do shows as part of, it's part of our life. But like each show always has its own nuances of what's been difficult or we always try to improve, or like. We are forever in the pursuit of super show," Taylor told Reuters.
    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will continue its schedule of Fall 2011/Winter 2012 runway shows and presentations until February 17 in New York City.
