Leather by...Stella Zotis (of Project Runway fame)

I don't think I've exclaimed my deep and lasting love of New York City recently.  Well the other night was one of those nights that reinforced my enduring commitment...but I somewhat digress.... 

I went with Laura (of Belle de Nuit flowers) to the Catclub's reunion party at the Bowery Electric primarily to see Stella Zotis' leather fashion show.  Talk about leather-work -- Damn!  I think it's safe to say that these are not the kinds of leather designs that you find in a suburban department store.  This is rock 'n' roll craftsmanship at its finest.  Certainly it helps if you also live the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but you might just need at least one Stella Leatha outfit for one of those "special occasions" that you don't tell your parents or kids about. 

Or your boss. 

Or your husband. 

Anyway, I'm kind of loving this whole metallic leather trend.  I may have to investigate further, and determine if this curious material might somehow suit yours truly, somewhere besides on my feet.
