Ann Taylor's Fall 2010 Preview Sings and So Does V.V. Brown

The Ann Taylor Fall 2010 preview was a surprisingly swanky affair.  The Ace Hotel lobby was abuzz with clinking champagne glasses and chatter from fashion editors, writers, and bloggers.

Even fresh-faced actress Rachel Bilson and "Mad Men"redhead Christina Hendricks were in the house.


The collection features opulent costume jewelry (rhinestone rules), long leather gloves, and accessories, separates and dresses swathed in bold leopard print. Embellished flats and a peep-toe oxford bootie also make great accents to any career gal's wardrobe.


Another highlight of the polished affair was a performance by stunning Brit pop-soul singer V.V. Brown.  Take this from a former music editor and sometime music writer, she's one to watch.

V.V's  raspy vocals recall Amy Winehouse and her vibe is little Lauryn Hill.  The girl's style, however, is all V.V. She rocked the Ann Taylor preview crowd in chic black, literally from head to toe.

Her album, Travelling Like the Light, features the infectious single "Shark in the Water" is in stores now.
