Society girls

"I couldn't sell once piece from that collection," declared the Neiman Marcus personal shopper from Washington D.C. who sat next to me at the Tuleh show. But then, it's society girls, not politicos, who inspire Tuleh designer Bryan Bradley. All you had to do was look at the audience to see that -- lots of fur, lots of face lifts. More blond hair than perhaps any other show in the tents. Bradley likes the idea of good girls gone just a little bad -- they're wearing that tweed jacket, but rocking it with skin tight trousers. The one kernel of good news for the rest of us: those pants, while intimidatingly slim, did have a flattering flare at the bottom.
