It was only a matter of time before Sophie and Lisa came up with another brilliant idea they simply had to share with their adoring fans. Et voila, Viva Vena! The brand’s newest line retains the signature hand-drawn prints and neo-Dada photo collages, while providing more casual staples at a lower price point. Retailing for under $200, the t-shirts, tanks, and dresses are a mix of organic jersey with silk details and made in the designers’ hometown of Los Angeles. They’re just the thing for a beach jaunt, or an impromptu picnic in the park.
Viva Vena! will be available at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Scoop NYC, Nordstrom, Opening Ceremony and a host of other retailers.

United Bamboo
The fashion week fatigue is already beginning to set in, and we must trudge on, fueled by the free McCafe coffee inside of the tents!
A recap of Saturday’s shows:
Karen Walker:
Karen departed from her more casual, sporty roots for a sophisticated lady with a sense of humor; working trump l’oeil details to perfection.
Karen Walker
Richard Chai (Mens):
Most definitely a strong foray into menswear, with well-cut peacoats, duffle coats, and trench hybrids stealing the spotlight.
Verrier:
A girlish fantasy prevailed from Verrier in these dark economic times, with wonderful fashion escapism found in her larger-than-life ruffles, charmeuse, sparkling applique’, and short fur-sleeved dresses.
Monarchy:
Outwear reigned supreme at Monarchy, with everything from military-inspired to “puffy” coats walking the runway, complete with a distinctive button tab detailing on the back.
United Bamboo:
Vena Cava
Great coats, girly jumpers, and a plethora of vintagey prints were the standouts for United Bamboo this season (not to mention a star-studded audience).
Vena Cava:
Motorcycle jackets and exposed skin aren’t going anywhere according to this designing duo, whose presentation played to both the hard and the soft sides of femininity.
