Kelly Mills of Black%White, PR gal for Telfar. www.blackandwhitefashion.net Fashionistas wait patiently in line for the noon show to start. Most of them were industry - magazine editors and buyers for stores and such. Some fashionistas who got the inside running - "take what's yours!" was their advice. The finale to the brief, 20 minute show. 5 Bike Friday tikits whirling around the floor - dodging photographer's bags by the looks of it! And that killer red bathing suit ...
