ot off the racks for women, luxe black satins adorned tone shoulders in the form of pleated one-shoulder or cinched dresses and flowing, shimmery tops paired with skinny black jeans and boots that beckoned your attention downward.

Men pushed the envelope with three-quarter coats in classic black, creatively accessorized with nothing but a loosely-knotted tie, for example, and a topcoat in soft gray fabric, creatively cut to steal the show and understated with its partner for the night: a plain, white tee.

Worth noting: the colorful array of designer handbags – big to hold everything – and bold in colors such as magenta, burgundy patent leather, zebra, as well as enormous hobos in every eye-catching shade.

Show stopping looks assembled by everyday people started from the outside in, as the arrivals topped off their ensembles with one amazing topcoat after another.
