00:00Hello everyone, welcome to day two of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Spring 2012.
00:13You are hanging out with Essence.com at Front Row Backstage.
00:16I'm Tia Williams, your beauty editor.
00:18This of course is the lovely Zanelay Blais, our fashion editor.
00:21And we're about to go see the Nicole Miller Show, so come with us.
00:30Hi, I'm Constance White, I'm editor-in-chief of Essence Magazine, and I'm here at the shows,
00:57and I just saw a terrific, exuberant show, Nicole Miller.
01:02You'll love Nicole's take on just punk and rock, skating.
01:08It was really something unexpected from Nicole.
01:11We think of Nicole for the perfect dress for a great date or the perfect dress for a wedding.
01:17Well, today, she showed clothes which were leggings with graffiti prints, leather bomber jackets, neon colors from the 80s.
01:27Very sportswear, very punk.
01:29A really great look for her and something quite new, which will surprise her audience, and I think do quite well.
01:36Now, let's see what Zanelay and Tia have to say about the show.
01:40We are dying over this show. It was so good.
01:43Now, the beauty and hair was a little understated.
01:46I mean, it was very hanging out on the beach, hair center parted, split down the middle, a little bit of texture, not much going on.
01:55Very clean face, very easy and pretty, but it wasn't really about the beauty and the hair.
01:59And Zanelay will tell you about the fashion.
02:01She never lied, y'all. What this really was about was clothing.
02:05I have two words for you. Blogger chic.
02:08The shapes and the silhouettes you saw, this is what all the hot bloggers are wearing.
02:12We're talking about loose, flowy drapey tops, loose, flowy skirts, a nice little belt to give it a little bit of shape and accent.
02:18But forget all of that. Let's talk about the colors.
02:21They were juicy. They were ripe. They were bursting.
02:24I'm talking neon, corals, reds, everything you ever needed.
02:28And take a look for some of our favorite pieces.
02:30There was a leather piece that was piped with neon that made us dye.
02:33There was a mixed print mini that had a razor back and just like it almost looked like it was checkered.
02:38It just was gorgeous. There was so much to love.
02:40And this is the first time where T and I are going to buy the whole collection.
02:43Thank you for hanging out with us at Nicole Miller.
02:45There's a thousand more shows to go to, so stick with us.
02:48Bye.
