The first show was Katerina Karoussos which featured dramatic hats and retro silhouettes. I really like the ladylike feel of the collection and am now completely convinced that I will own and wear a straw hat someday.
Next up was Frida Karadima where we stole seats that were labeled for others and I'm so glad we did, because this was probably my favorite collection. Gauzy, white dresses full of air and movement were contrasted with neon accessories and details running throughout. It was a nice balance of elements and really just a fun show to watch.
Elena Strongyliotu was a myriad of influences from equestrian, to futuristic at times, and a focus on the play between leather and silk. It was a gorgeous collection and again I was enthralled by the shoes. 
I was able to catch one more collection by Katerinalexandraki which I'm certain the club kids of NYC would love, but wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I also completely failed at getting proper pictures of this collection.

I love the dress!
And wow, that sounds like so much fun! The bit about unshaven legs and panty lines is funny haha, but I do feel bad for them too..
Yeahh the hit: High Heels on catwalk !!!
you look absolutely lovely in that dress. so curvy and woman-like. I love it.
I know what you mean about the 'hidden and dark' secrets of models, you do actually feel a bit sad when you get to see it up close!
Taht's so cool you had a backstage pass! There are some nice pieces in those pictures.
it's so sweet that Lopi invited you to those shows. How great for you.
I agree that hats look sensational.
Lucky you! How exciting.
Great pictures, and you look oh so pretty.
Your dress is lovely and you should certainly get a straw hat- The ones in the show are wonderful! Also, such interesting boots/shin guards/heels on that one model.
your dress is amazing! on that figure..steaming...and u sat so close to the runway!! fabulous dearie!! love this post. yah get the straw hat and MAKE IT WORK!
