...Feng, who came to the U.S. from China in 1986, showed an incomplete collection: no coats, few casual outfits. But she looks to be a virtuoso with materials. From cut velvet to georgette, she made everything seem like gossamer and draped it skillfully on the body. Byron Lars, who is just 29, put on the most dazzling show of all three cities, full of swagger and unabashed theatrics, with the most sophisticated music -- ranging from bongo drums to Delibes -- since the early days of Lacroix.
