Vivienne Tam

Vivienne Tam’s collection was clearly influenced by peonies and an homage to the late Yves Saint Laurent. According to Style.com, “the YSL element could be seen in the tailored suiting options; the peonies could be seen everywhere.” The dress above is too unique–who else could could bring together plastic pink and peony petals? Loves it!

Herve Leger by Max Azaria

Herve Leger, famously, or infamously known for the bandage dresses (that every starlet, A-list celeb, and over 40 actress trying to reclaim her youth has put on in the past two years), had a Spring collection that can be described as “sex on heels”….take that! The bathing suit above is beyond fab…if you have absolutely no fat and are toned everywhere, you need to wear it…if you were single before, by the time you leave the beach/pool/resort, you’ll have many suitors following your footsteps…

Naeem Khan

Naeem Khan show can be summarized in two words: elegant simplicity. The free-flowing and clean silhouettes of the Spring 09 collection are refreshing and true to Naeem Khan’s style. I love the dress above–rich in color, wonderful silhouette, and interesting (but I hate the shoes!).

Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren clearly was influenced by the North African safari. The runway was filled with “bronze or white linen suits worn with matching shirts and metallic ties” and “swaggering trenches in buttery leather and parachute silk.” Though parachute silk harem pants sound like and oxymoron, the look actually worked. After 41 years, Lauren is still on his game…

Zac Posen

Zac Posen overdosed on the fumes of the Bedazzler during the construction of his Spring 09 collection. Although the elaborate beading and embellishments are a great view, I couldn’t imagine how a fab diva could get through the day without losing a jeweled piece here or there. This dress was his best look–could you wear it?

Diane von Furstenberg

Diane von Furstenberg called her Spring 09 collection “Rock Goddess.” It actually was more of a hippie inspired collection with lush colors and bold prints. Although she is the wrap dress queen, she can still create awe and amazement with her stylish and chic designs.

Catherine Malandrino named her 10th year anniversary collection “Dawn.” This collection paid attention to the details with scalloped lace, appliquéd tulle, and quilted leather. I’m personally not a fan of the ultra-embellished garment, so this simplistic jumpsuit was my most fave.

Monique Lhuillier

Monique Lhuillier said “It’s about tropical-island getaway,” before her show. Known for her gorgeous wedding gowns, few know about the the tailored elegance of her non-wedding garments. Consider yourself informed!

Marchesa

Marchesa can be frequently seen on Hollywood’s elite on the red carpet. It is especially a favorite of Jennifer Lopez, who wears the dresses so well. According to Style.com, in collection had “a subtle thread of the Far East running through, seen most overtly in mandarin collars, an obi belt, and origami-like pleating.”

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham’s dress line is fierce! It is the hottest thing going in New York during Fashion Week. All of the dresses have a wonderful curvaceous silhouette and made for the woman who loooves dresses—myself included.
