He has a big following in Japan.  (You never hear of a designer having a big following in Canada, do you?)  He also has a big following with socialites.  And apparently, the Harper’s Bazaar team.  Glenda the Wicked Good Scary Witch of Bazaar made her front row presence wearing a spectacular coat.  White with a gold coral reef pattern.

Personally, Andrew GN leaves the Coquette a little cold, mostly because it all seems so structured.  But will his niche be happy with the collection he showed Wednesday morning?  With fur appearing in almost every look, structured jackets that will be body friendly for non-teenagers, and lots and lots of satin with puff sleeves (this seems to be his signature, if I remember correctly his last collection)--I know the socialites will love it.

You can’t fault a guy for pleasing his customers.
