San Francisco Fashion Week '05: Erin Mahoney

A green-and-gold satin crepe gown, a Technicolor fuchsia silk skirt, a black charmeuse tango dress with a butterfly print and a pink plaid ball gown with a plaid “Poppy” top were a few of the vibrant looks in Erin Mahoney’s collection. The designer personalized some styles with feather hairpieces. She also tossed in ethnic looks, including a calico top made with a mixture of African-silk fabrics.
