Elise Overland, a Norwegian born beauty, had aspirations to be a professional skier, Thankfully for us, she was snatched up to do some designs for some rock n'rollers like Steven Tyler. Her signature is leather pieces combined with a feminine touch.
Colors: black, olive, cream, white, electric blue, chartreuse
Materials: lace, leather, jersey, cotton
Loved Looks
It was a cult late 60's movie vibe at Elise Overland. It was kitsch done right that would make any downtown girl want to rush to the nearest boutique carrying Elise's one piece v neck leather jumpsuit with boho white top. Her rock n' roll roots can't escape her. There were plenty of pieces that would be great for stylists to grab for their clients including a deep v leather dress and all lace black dress. For us non-rock stars, there were pieces for us as well, including minimalist silk dresses and a cropped tiered black leather jacket.
Unloved Looks
Chartrueuse is a very hard color to wear for many people. Still, those who can rock bright colors and not look like they have jaundice (that would not be me) have a beautiful lace dress and silk pieces to choose from.
Music
Superstar by Aeroplane played with a surprise appearance by acclaimed violinist Hahn Bin. Bin walked the runway with playing a solo while wearing Elise's electric blue top and black leather multi-tiered skirt. The show ended with The Race by Yello.

People and Scene
Elise Overland's show was held off-site at Exit Art. The bench seats and enough space provided a view to see everything with out poking over other people's heads. Socialites and Kelly Osborne sat front row. Hahn Bin's live musical runway strut added drama to the already cool, unique collection inspired by the cult fashion movie "Blow Up" and old African colonial uniforms.
To Gift or Not to Gift
Those new wierd drinks that look like shampoo bottles (Neuro drinks) were on the first three rows of seats along with black and white striped giftbags that probably included swag from sponsors like Fekkai, Tweezerman, intraceuticals, PrintinNYC and Napolean Perdis.
