NEW YORK, N.Y. – Carmen Marc Valvo had young, fun and relaxed in mind for his beach-inspired collection at New York Fashion Week.
In his notes, Valvo shared a poem he wrote about the season – “summer breezes, sea sprays, and salt water taffy” with some “seaside cottages and ballroom dances” thrown in.
For the girl heading to the Hamptons, he included an ebony cap sleeve one-piece and a champagne pearl embroidered tank dress. His signature eyewear gave the models a beach-ready look.

For evening, there was a stunning jasmine silk organza shirt paired with a jasmine sequined ball skirt topped with an ebony tuxedo vest that would kill on the red carpet. Many pieces had thick belts, including a black striped cotton canvas romper paired with a bright white one.
But the long dresses took the show, including one in pleated satin with a sun ray and another in pink lemonade silk satin that drew gasps and applause from the crowd.
Volvo also included some shimmer with a jasmine sequined striped silk taffeta ball skirt and sterling sequined T-shirt dress.
Vanessa Williams and champion figure skater Sasha Cohen came out in support for the show at the Nasdaq building in Times Square.
