Cognac chats with Representative Michaela Thayer about the Heart Truth Red Collection Fall/Winter 2010 – Video by Mauro Botero – Cognac’s Corner is sponsored by g2Organics.com Dog-power.com and Scenterprises, Ltd.
During Mercedes Benz Fashion Week I interviewed Representative Michaela Thayer in the tents at Heart Truth Booth.
The Red Dress was designed to build awareness that women are at risk for heart disease, and motivate them to take action to reduce their risk. As an icon, the Red Dress tested well with women across the country who cited its ability to get attention, convey the seriousness of heart disease, and change the perception that it is only a man’s issue.
The Heart Truth introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness at the campaign’s launch in 2002.
On Thursday, February 11, 2010, The Heart Truth returned to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for its annual Red Dress Collection Fashion Show. This year they went “behind the seams” to remind women that the truth isn’t always pretty—more women die of heart disease than any other disease. Red Dress Collection 2010 is presented by Diet Coke. National sponsors include Swarovski, and Tylenol and St. Joseph Aspirin; make-up partner is Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
Glamorous TV Stars walked the catwalk for a fabulous cause at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show. Surrounded by a stunning Swarovski crystal set, this season’s celebrity beauties walked tall in custom shoes from Brian Atwood. Heidi Klum closed the show in a gown from John Galliano. “I loved that the dress is sexy and slinky,” she said. “It shows the curves, but not too much.” And did the professional strutter give any tips to her fellow models? “No! Everyone has their own flair and their own way and they blow kisses and they do funny things. This is about these women being here and having an important message.” In keeping with this theme, a number of dresses will be up for auction in support of women’s heart health awareness on clothesoffourback.org.
Kristin Chenoweth
Kristin Chenoweth opened the show to Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” in a dress and jewelry by Daniel Swarovski. “The necklace is the star,” she said. “I love all the hearts.” Her secret to a perfect strut? “I’m going to pretend I’m Heidi Klum!”
Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel may be pregnent, but that didn’t stop her from displaying her curves in just the right places in a scensuous revealing Isabella Oliver design. “The dress is like Donna Karan and Herve Leger got married!” the The Real Housewives of New York City star said of the jersey creation.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian blew kisses To Football Player and signficant other Reggie Bush in a Grecian goddess-style Marchesa.
Joan Collins
She may be pushing 80 but Joan Collins looked divine walking on the runway or should I say Alexis Carrington is back! Dynasty legend Joan Collins worked it in a dramatic chiffon Stephane Rolland gown.
In keeping with this theme, a number of dresses will be up for auction in support of women’s heart health awareness on clothesoffourback.org.

Dogs are fashionistas too!!!!! I was invited to attend another red carpet event during Fashion Week, Lovers and Leashes PETaPOTTY’s Westminster Experience. The event was held at the Pennsylvania Hotel on February 12, 2010. At the event I had a chance to interview Celebrity Super Model Beth Ostrosky-Stern who was receiving an award for her philantrophic achievements. We also discussed Mercedes Benz Fashion Week as she revealed her favorite show in the Tents was Nicole Miller.
I also had the chance to chat with Dara Forster from pupstyle.com
Pupstyle.com is a site devoted to dog luxuries, dog fashion and celebri-dog news and gossip. Founded as a labor of love by New York City’s husband and wife taste-maker team Dara Foster & Jonathan Spooner in 2003. The site is intended as a vehicle to set higher standards for dog fashion and luxury. If you’ve ever tried to search the internet with the three words “dog” “fashion” and “luxury” attached to each other, you know what turns up is anything but “honest” dog luxury. These days, every pink, overpriced, dog sweater made in China is marketed as “luxury” with little or no attention paid to real value or workmanship. We’re here to help you sift through the trash and connect directly to “real” dog luxuries available worldwide. That means, we promise to apply the same high standards of luxury to dog products that we apply to those for people. While we can’t erase all the visually damaging dog fashion in the world, we can do our best to elevate taste levels one collar at a time. Dogs know when they look good! DARA + JON

Later I caught up backstage with Football Reciever Terrell Owens about the Perry Ellis Line. We conversed about the Perry Ellis Brand and some new projects he will be working on endorsing the Perry Ellis line.
Terrell Eldorado Owens is an American football wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, and former holder of the league single-game reception record, Owens has been one of the dominant receivers of his era.
As productive as he has been, Owens has been equally controversial, creating firestorms with each team he has played for as a professional. Owens played college football and basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and was selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Owens was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 after a spat with 49ers front office members. Two years later, he was released and signed to another large pact by the Dallas Cowboys, only to be given his unconditional release on March 4, 2009[3] and signed by the Bills several days later.
Popularly known by his initials, T.O., Owens is both renowned and reviled for his flamboyant touchdown celebrations, earning him many fines and his teams’ frequent penalties for his end zone theatrics.
Perry Ellis debuted his fall/winter 2010 collection on February 15, 2010 at the promenade in Bryant Park. The collection was a contemporary and modern twist on classic men’s sportswear. For the first time in a while, the show was actually in the evening due to the fact that John Crocco actually geared this towards evening wear with formal influences.
