Vera Wang Welcomes Spring

Inspired by the proto-pop French artist Niki de Saint Phalle, Vera Wang’s Spring 2009 collection was as artsy as ever. More chic than the past seasons, there was still the familiar sheer gazar over-slips and three-dimensional dresses, but the newly inspired narrow “basketball” tanks, skinny cigarette pants and leggings, and pencil skirts were a welcomed sight.

We saw crystalline necklines and necklaces with panels of colorful mosaic-cut sequins cascading down the front of a dress, or wrapping the waist of a skirt that echoed the silvery gray sculpture at the back of the runway. The embelishments were beautiful and artsy, creating depth, texture and shine on otherwise simple ensembles.

Janis Savitt designed the jewelry - luxurious, feminine and timeless!

Love this charcoal and white color-blocked tank dress (below) - so simple and beautiful.
