    I've got my Manolo's ready and rarin' to go. Fashion Week Spring 2004 is upon us!
   
  I'm looking forward to seeing the latest flirty styles from Rebecca Taylor, Catherine Malandrino, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Vivienne Tam. I love the way their clothes fit    
  m.r.s. Molly Stern's designs are so comfy and flattering. Congrats to Molly on her recent marriage!  
  I can't wait to see Amir Slama's sexy swimwear for Rosa Cha    
  I can't wait to see the exciting fashion shows that are "shows" (as in non-stop entertainment) - Heatherette, House of Field, and Baby Phat. I hear Heatherette is expecting a surprise guest or two!    
  Last season, I loved Carolina Herrera's and Narciso Rodriguez's sophisticated creations, so I'm curious to see what they'll be up to for spring.    
  It's always a full house at Marc Jacobs' show but with good reason - his clothes are cool and so "right now."    
  I want to keep an eye on newcomers Jennifer Nicholson (yes, Jack's daughter), Twinkle, and Tess Giberson.    
  I'm amazed that Yeohlee churned out a new collection and a new book in the same season.    
  Let's see if Zang Toi can top his Japanese kabuki-inspired show from February.    
  The Proenza Schouler label is on a roll so I want to see what their follow-up to last season's hit show will be.    
  Of course I won't want to miss Ralph, Donna and Calvin. Plus it's Kenneth Cole's 20th anniversary!    
  Gen Art show -These designers are the stars of tomorrow showing some of the week's most refreshing looks. Let the shows begin!

    The excitement is in the air and like horses in the starting gate, we're waiting with anticipation to see what several designers will be offering this season...
     
  Michael Vollbracht is the new name at Bill Blass, and he understands exactly who his customer is and aims to please. He has Blass good looks, charm, and more importantly, his same point of view on style. I can't wait to check out his first collection.      
  Another esteemed fashion house where the designer turnover has given us whiplash is Halston. The new name on the door is Bradley Bayou who goes for big, bold color that's already given him a celebrity following.      
  When designer Charles Nolan left Anne Klein for the Howard Dean campaign he was replaced by Michael Smaldone. Smaldone is the king of suits—a look that has finally returned.      
  Others we are looking forward to: Talented newcomers Proenza Schouler (so young, so exciting) and Chado by Ralph Rucci, who is finally being recognized for the major talent that he is.
     
  See you in the tents�or on TV!
