My designing friend Zang Toi<\/a> showed his Spring 2013 line on September 9 during New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center.\u00a0 I wore the floor-length, cowboy-print dress I got from Zang’s Spring 2011 collection<\/a>. I kept the accessories casual with a fringed purse and boots; I’m not sure that the lady in the blue shirt on the left approved.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Zang Toi (2011, last seen here<\/a>)<\/em>
\nPurse:<\/strong> Prada (purchased on eBay in 2008<\/a>)<\/em>
\nBoots:<\/strong> Jil Sander (pre-2005)<\/em><\/p>\n

Or maybe she noticed my dress was a little rumpled. I got dressed at the last minute and only then realized that I should have steamed the dress. Because there was no time, I decided to tell myself that all the creasing happened in the taxi on the way over to the show. Mind over matter!<\/p>\n

Gorgeous designer<\/a>\/blogger<\/a> Stacy Lomman accompanied me to the show, wearing the Union Jack ribbon dress from her own Fall 2012 Modern World<\/a> collection.<\/p>\n

While I was taking pictures of Stacy from the front, a whole bunch of people lined up to take pictures of her back.<\/p>\n

My seat at Zang’s show allowed me to peek backstage as the models got ready to walk out. This was the opening look.<\/p>\n

Zang made icy pastels look very sex-ay.<\/p>\n

I caught one model getting a last-minute hair touch-up.<\/p>\n

I would have had a lot more photos and video to share, but I lost my iPhone on the way home from the show. This happened the day after I lost an important earring at Madonna’s Yankee Stadium concert<\/a>. Not a good couple of days for me. I was able to track the phone to Jamaica, Queens<\/a>, with the Find My iPhone app. I sent it an emergency message, saying there would be a reward for its return. No luck. What kind of person keeps a phone with 100 photos of a grumpy-faced cat on it<\/a>? There’s something extra mean about depriving a person of her (un-backed-up) cat pictures.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week official YouTube channel has some highlights from the show. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
