Carmen Marc Valvo is synonymous with beautiful evening wear and cocktail dresses. Stars like Eva Longoria, Katie Couric and Kate Winslet have all worn his designs on the red carpet. Last week, Valvo came to Neiman Marcus for a personal appearance. He was so personable and interacted with every customer he met. He made the clients feel special and even helped pick out some looks for their upcoming events. The gowns from his new fall 2014 collection are stunning in person and are appropriate for any age. Here are a few of my favorites available at Neiman Marcus.

This red floral cocktail dress ($595) is perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

For a more dramatic look, this sequined mermaid gown ($1095) is a great choice for a black tie event or gala.

While Valvo was assisting his clients, one woman picked up this long sleeve, lace gown ($1190) for a wedding she is attending next fall. While she was hesitant at first, Valvo insisted she try it on. She took his advice and loved it!
