Fashion Amai Unmei at Nicolle Shops Portland

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Feb 28 at 12:59 PM

Last night was Nicolle Camarata’s fashion show, featuring the radio and TV personality’s “favorite discoveries of 2007.”

There was a rather major snafu that resulted in some of the lines being incorrectly announced, but the error resulted in the showing of the dress/coats from Amai Unmei twice (plus there were some bizarre comments from the evening’s hostess, such as “Unlike me, Daria [O’Neil] chooses to be in Portland“—I confess that I’d never seen (or heard) her show until I started researching for my column from last week, and I’m not an expert on her style but she has to have been kidding, right? Though I’m pretty sure she wasn’t kidding when she went on to completely dis herself and her entire NSP empire, including the name, which she admitted was “dumb.” The whole thing was a little too disarmingly honest for on stage banter by common standards, but hell, it’s her party and it kind of made me love her.) Easily my favorite showing of the night, the designer, Allison Covington focused exclusively on what she does best, which are her signature swingy, classic dress coats in an an array of shades. See ‘em after the jump.

That orange dress is absolutely awesome and fashion forward for Spring. I agree Kiala, something I would totally want in my wardrobe!

Hi there,
I just meant that Daria moved to Oregon and I am from here, that it all. I have been here my whole life because it is the best place in the world. The show (and the brand) is about supporting local business...not about me. I didn't name it, ClearChannel did in 2002, but it does have some job security now doesn't it??
Thanks,
Nicolle
