Michael Costello debuted his New York Fashion Week runway show at Skylight Studios on September 8, 2016, brought out the flare and fanfare from the VIP guests in attendance like Petra Nemcova, Paris Hilton, Robert Verdi and Dorothy Wang among others, to the celebrity models in the show including Tyson Beckford, and the collection itself which utilized sweeping designs of dresses and stunning “Coachella-esque” floral headpieces amongst strong colors like dark purple, red and dark pink metallic sheens in the collection.
The collection, called “Midnight in the Secret Garden,” featured a variety of garden party type elements, but took it to the next level with large floral headpieces, long skirts with high-cut slits, plunging necklines, intricate lace bodices and bodysuits with floral elements, as well as flared bottoms, amongst other details.
Additionally, at the show Costello premiered his new couture line for kids with Jennifer Costello and their business partner Lorena Padilla, mirroring the same fabrics and colors as in the main collection. Costello’s line was truly a spectacle and it’s no surprise he continues to wow audiences with his red carpet looks worn by the likes of Beyonce, J. Lo and Kate Hudson, among others.
