Liquid Metal Spring 2010 Runway Show Report NYFW

Sergio Gutierrez's Liquid Metal Runway show at the Metropolitan Pavilion featured unusual, eye-catching accessories and fashions created with metal mesh. His classic designs are perfect for accessorizing just about any outfit, and in an time when statement accessories, rule, this designer is a perfect match for every personality. Guitierrez's mesh creations adorn everything from camisoles and jeans, to dresses and of course, jewelery.


This accessories line gives metal mesh an entirely new meaning, with accessories that can enrobe you literally, from head to toe. For the Spring 2010 show Sergio selected swingy metal vests and camisoles, shoes, handbags, and gorgeous leather jackets, all created with his signature, metal mesh accents. A few pieces were 100% mesh, including one dress made entirely of silver mesh that Gutierrez said weighed more than 50 pounds. But the majority of the 29 offerings on the runway had that kind of glamour and rock star quality that was very wearable and beautiful.

Everything Sergio creates is built from metal mesh. He melds mesh and technique to make pieces that are beloved by women everywhere. These items are not just for show, they really get worn. They're timeless enough so that they're never thrown in a closet or drawer after the season ends. Sergio told me that people collect his pieces, season after season. "Sometimes women want to replace something," says Sergio." "Women chase me down and ask me where they can get a replacement for something they lost, or that they damaged...my collection is not seasonal. It is meant to be something classic that you wear forever," he adds.

Melissa Menounos being interviewed prior to the show. She sat opposite me in the front row and seemed genuinely interested in what was happening on the runway. I have seen so many celebrities checking email or texting or chatting with seat-mates...how rude! But Melissa, was really in the moment!
