Fashion Week Spring 2009

This season, Frida Giannini produced a tropical punch of low-slung suits and leg-baring mini-caftans. A succession of flak jackets and drawstring separates were a tip of the panama hat to Yves Saint Laurent's safari collection. And the uber-cool zippered coatdresses had to be of interest to the good girl gone bad in the front row, Rihanna.
