Carmen Marc Valvo Fall Winter 2011 Collection During NY Fashion Week (with video)

Carmen Marc Valvo's Fall/Winter 2011 Collection which was presented last night was glamorous and elegant. Valvo, the designer-to-the-stars (many of whom were presented at the show) featured a collection made with such rich fabrics as chantilly lace, chiffon, organza and tulle.

The show was presented at the Nasdaq Marketplace, with all attendees seated along long winding corridors, with the models passing by only a few feet away. Katie Couric, Star Jones, and singer Kat DeLuna all in attendance.

Highlights of the beautiful collection included exquisite cocktail dresses and formal evening wear including a latte metallic lace gown, a persimmon iridescent silk chiffon and lace gown, and a black strapless lace gown with multi-tiered chiffon applique. (See video of the show below).

"The collection was inspired by ballerinas this season," Valvo told Luxist backstage after the show (see video for full interview). "I gravitated towards them for their sense of beauty, poise, their grace, their elegance and their sensuality and femininity. So I wanted the collection to evoke that sense of beauty and movement. It is a collection full of romance and poetry. Lots of laces were employed, silk chiffons and metallic tulles."

There have been all sorts of rumors about Star Jones-Reynolds lately. Is she leaving "The View?" Is she divorcing her husband? One thing is for certain, she is ditching her New York penthouse. Star's pad is a penthouse triplex with a roof terrace and two bedrooms. Star's opulent palace includes gilding, chandeliers, a gold-tiled bathroom and, as befits Princess Star, plenty of closets. The apartment is listed at $2.25 million. After the jump, does she really have a picture of herself in the bathroom?
