Sue Wong leads the way with fuschia long satin evening gowns (see
photo) with embellishments like florettes and brocaded beadwork. Nanette
Lapore embraces Spring pink with a simple vneck daydress with
contrasting halter gauze overlay for drama.
Emanuel Ungaro's offbeat 2010 Spring collection featuring co-designers
Estrella Archs and Lindsey Lohan used a hot pink wrap cocktail
dress for shock effect. Not to be outdone, Alexandre Herchcovitch
created a one piece metallic bubblegum mini dress with science fiction
overtones. Alexandre Herchcovitch Spring 2010 Collection was literally
bathed in pink light for a carnival feel.

 Where's
the Party?
Holiday 2009 is Demure Chic
After years
of flamboyant winter fashion and then a sobre 2008 season, holiday
evening gowns have returned to classic
shapes for 2009.

2007 Los Angeles Fashion Week
While social calendars are thinner this year, choosing the right dress
for Holiday will be even more important. At the recent Ruznak
Evening of Luxury at Universal Studios for LA Fashion Week, guests
were dressed smartly with an eye to monotone palettes and demure necklines.
Evening dresses in one
shoulder styles still take center stage, in a long run that started
in January with the U.S. Presidential Inaugural balls. Joining that
trend are ribbon bows and grecian collars, mostly in standard colors
like black,
royal
blue and crimson,
with rich purple
shades left over from Fall 2009.
The neckline or
upper bodice area is adorned with sparkling necklaces or jeweled embellishments.
Simple chic looks have evolved into pleated fronts, gathered busts,
and belted waistlines. Call it the intersection of party styles with
formal dresses; in any case, retailers are relieved to see very sellable
trends from the runways just in time for the last big party season
until March. |

then pleases with space age sequin

2010 is an evolution of the artist's style leading to more futuristic

Lela Rose has always offered looks for ladies and Fall 2009 New York

tones of the season. Blending grey tones in trenches and short dresses
with intricately patterned tweeds and accents of camel and royal blue,
Lela

when engaged. "That's so interesting," one might hear, and
in the same breath, "and exquisite." |
