YOU can wave at the bride and groom leaving their Wedding on a horse and admire the lovely Mom & children. Next, head to the beach and join the Sun Bathers.

These are a few of the adventures on offer at LANDAULAND. Pray, tell, what is LANDAULAND, you ask?

It is none other than the utopia created for Adrienne Landau by true republican and event planner extraordinaire Susanne Bartsch, to celebrate the brand's 40th anniversary. No doubt, this spectacle will go down as the most clever presentation of New York Fashion Week: The Shows Fall 2017.

"At this point in time, we all need to rise up and continue embracing EQUALITY & INCLUSION despite all the social constructs," the designer says in the run of show. "...For fall/winter 2017, ADRIENNE LANDAU persists in celebrating and supporting LOVE, UNITY FREEDOM of expression!"

What an ingenious way to show one's collection of colorful and colorful fur (stoles, vests, jackets, coats) and a few sweatpants! Walk into the darkened, cavernous room and see the aforesaid newlyweds. To the left, along the wall encased in glass are fierce-looking Warriors of various tribes got up in fur, accessorized by exquisite, massive, headdresses. Go right toward the phone booth where a Graffiti Artist, in denim utility vest, is plying his trade.

Across the way along the other wall, the hot beach bodies are lying amongst ginormous Chiquita banana floats getting their tan on. Keep wondering the space and encounter the Working Girls and Club kids, all dressed appropriately for their respective activities.

Half the fun of being at LANDAULAND is figuring out who are the amusements and who are the ones here to be amused. All of the models (and some of the guests) appear to be drag queens, including Amanda LePore and Violet Chachki, whom the designer believes may be perceived as "strange" or "different." Choosing this demographic to model her latest collection could be economically risky, leading some to presume that Adrienne Landau is not for them. They would be wrong.

"I don't design for a particular woman - I design for everyone," AL says. Among celeb clients: Steven Tyler, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Taraji P. Henson. 

Equality and inclusion ... Do add LANDAULAND to your travel itinerary.

From NYFW Spring 2017 Day 6: It's Zang Toi, of Course There Are Glories to Behold (and It's in the Bag); What's Not to Like at Chiara Boni La Petite Robe; Miguel Vieira Is an Established Do-Gooder.

ZANG Toi’s Spring 2017 colleciton is a stroll through Monet's gardens at Giverny (France), emanating lilac hues and wistful embellishments that are like a breath of fresh air.

Utilizing romantic florals and ladylike silhouettes, ZT knows how to dress a woman. His clean, classic lines are enriched with sumptuous silks and cashmere knits making this collection one that will be talked about for years to come.

For day, he gives a twist on the trench coat, sometimes creating shortened sleeves or loosening the shape to kimono-like volume, all in black Loro Piana weather silk.

He chooses, on other occasions, to take the sleeves off all together and pair it, belted, with a high-waisted lean pant. For evening, he lengthens it to the floor in black silk satin opened to reveal a violet floral lining.

Dresses are where the color comes alive, for both day and night. Violet and lilac are often paired in color-block designs, while shoulders and waists are encrusted with beads, gemstones and embroidery. Sculpted jackets and cardigans are bordered with silk pansies or flowing wisteria.

Particularly dramatic is a knit sheath dress in a deep violet emblazoned with hand-encrusted gemstones on cap sleeves and replicated on a choker.

ZT’s signature ballgowns are a fantasy come to life. In addition to the floor-length trench gowns, the designer offers myriad wisteria-embellished ensembles, both embroidered and in prints.

The strapless lilac gown in silk gazaar with a violet border at the hem is a singular beauty. Topping it is an abbreviated hand-loomed cardigan in silk cashmere embroidered with cascading wisteria on the shoulders.

Truly, ZT Spring 2017 is a work of art (and so are the Papyrus greeting cards in the giftbag).
