Fashion designers paraded their gowns down the runway, many with diamond, pearl and crystal accents for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences kick-off of its yearly Oscar Fashion Preview.

Now get ready to vote because for the second time running the Academy is giving Oscar fans the opportunity to log onto www.oscars.org and cast a vote for the dress and model they’d most like to see appearing on the show, handing out trophies to the Academy Award winners.

HollywoodOutbreak.com caught up with Oscar’s Fashion Coordinator, Patty Fox, who explained who’s in the running in the competition, along with Designers Oday Shakar and Ari Sheuhmelian, who describe the inspiration for their dresses, landing them into the finalist category for the fashion competition.

Still, no gown is complete without jewels, so Martin Katz, of Martin Katz Jewelry loaned his creations to the designers to complement the dresses. And he’s tossed in a bit of color for those of us out there who love splashes of yellows, oranges, purples and blues.

The Academy Awards telecast airs live from the Kodak Theatre, March 7th on ABC.
