Green Runway... Julia and Giorgio....

BACK AT IT: Through an exclusive deal with Saks Fifth Avenue, Michael Vollbracht’s new made-to-measure and made-to-order clothing will be unveiled Sept. 16 at the Fifth Avenue flagship. The line marks the designer’s return to the fashion scene since leaving Bill Blass last year. Vollbracht will later make a series of in-store appearances, trunk shows and one-on-one consultations with shoppers in 15 Saks stores across the country. Vollbracht said he is following through on advice Blass gave him years ago. “Bill told me early in my career, ‘Kid, go out and meet your customer’ and I have always followed his advice. In my four years at Bill Blass I met some of the most interesting and powerful women in America. I want to focus my talents on them,” he said. The clothes will only be sold in The Fifth Avenue Club at Saks.
