Fashion Week Spring 2009

The Project Runway judge's enthusiasm for Spring was obvious as he walked the runway post-show with a big, beaming smile. His inspiration: "The glamour of Portofino and the sporty surf of chic Malibu." The classic, all-American lineup was cheerful and optimistic with bold stripes, oversized dots, colorful plaids and glossy accessories. And just as the patent visors on every supermodel indicated, these summery looks will work best outdoors—poolside and at the beach.
