Seven recent graduates of San Francisco’s Academy of Art University will present spring 2010 collections on Saturday during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which kicks off today in New York.

Here, we present a sneak peak at eight of the looks that live audiences will see coming down the runway under the Bryant Part tent. If you want to follow along with the action, go here to watch the show streamed live starting at 12 p.m. via the Academy of Art’s web site.

A few preview pics we received from the show’s organizers (It’s v. important to note that these were taken during an informal fitting session, meaning no hair and make-up. You’ve got to hit the show to see them in all their glory!)
