Summary: Starting with a tight black jersey frock with ruching over the bust a la a 70s Studio 54 glamazon, Mara Hoffman dazzled the downtown crowd with glamourous print caftans, fun & innovative rompers, hoodie mini dresses, harem panted jumpsuits, and a completely adorable puff sleeve, bubble skirted white frock. With innovative touches like a draped, pocketed romper with built-in bandeau top peeking out from underneath, and even a swim (or whenever, really) coverup that the modern day Little Red Riding-Hood would kill to wear, Mara Hoffman rocks.
