Juan Carlos Obando
The title of this collection was Liz Goldwyn vs. Frank Miller. Liz Goldwyn, of course, is the jewelry designer/director granddaughter of the late MGM founder Samuel Goldwyn. And Frank Miller is an artist, writer, and director who is best known for his film-noir-style comic books.
In this age of everyone's-a-designer, it's refreshing to be confronted by a real designer. Unlike some of his contemporaries whose design skills consist primarily of a) finding interesting vintage garments and b) taking them to factories to be reproduced, Obando actually sewed each of the fourteen samples in this fall collection himself.
Obando is not a brand new designer - he has shown past collections in Los Angeles - but this season was his first in New York.
