Venezuelan native designer, but all New Yorker-
Norisol Ferrari debuted her femme fatale/warrior ready collection at a presentation during the most recent NYFW.

| "Amy" Nude satin-black lace trim |
A kaleidoscope of influences-equesttrian/military, a nod to the sweeping long late 19th century silhouettes-fitted for females' curves with elements of corset like construction, "Jean Harlow meets Tina Turner in Mad Max"--- and lots of mixes of fabrics (silk, lace, leather, exotic skins, cashmere) and trims-usually in the same ensemble.
Dramatic attire titled with lakes' names---we thought of some of the flamboyant Bob Mackie outfits for Cher---or the style mavericks Madonna and Lady Gaga...
 |
| Chocolate Cashmere coat- long bell sleeves, fitted bodice |
While not geared for the preppy set, we thought some of the items-particular the fitted tailored cashmere jackets-really fab and sophisticated---and admired how Ferrari celebrated the female form with curvy seams and slim fitting attire...
 |
| "Rita" red and black-hint of navy tweed him waist pencil skirt, "Olivia" white poplin snap front blouse over a black leather harness, leather belt |
 |
| loved this "Colbert" black cashmere jacket---buttoned exaggerated cuffs are special |
 |
| "Whitney" Black satin strapless corseted gown with black lace trim and bustle |
A packed house---plenty of attendees struck their own pose.
 |
| nice- "Kitt" strapless dress in camel and black cashmere |
 |
| "Liza" power stretch black leggings-a basic must -with "Dawn" alligator jacket... |
