Let The "Real" Fashion Show Begin

Backstage mayhem: a model in make-up

Carnivale came complete with some very sexy siamese twins

A girl saunters down the runway in a fabulous hand painted suit accesorized with a top hat and cane. And so began the theatrics that are always a part of Anna Mccraney's fashion shows. Since winning the first season of "The Fashion Show" with Issac Mizrahi, Anna was finally ready to expand her presentation. The theme this season was "Carnivale". It was pleasant to see the evolution her shows from venues with dubious logistics to proffesional runway presentation. This show was a fine example of Anna's gift for whimsy, pattern, and color. She was right in line with the most important trends from this season: the strong shoulder, crayola colored dresses, and sheer insets. If I voiced one gripe it would be that some of the items weren't a seamless fit with her Carnivale theme. There was a checked plaid, that although lovely and wearable, didn't seem to mesh with the rest of the collection. Even so, what good carnival doesn't have a few misfits in tow?
