Fashion Week Spring 2009

The designer showed a classic lineup with a bit of an edge for Spring 2009, including crisp white shirts, full skirts, elegant party frocks and uptown accessories like brooches, layered necklaces, oversized sunglasses and pretty day bags. The standouts were the left-of-field bits: color-blocked swimwear and a graphic navy-and-white print that came in many shapes and looked especially stunning as a strapless gown with a peplum skirt. The latter seemed to catch the eye of Jennifer Lopez as she watched from her front row perch.
