Marni’s Spring 2009 Collection reminds me of the movie Pretty In Pink. The print-heavy collection which features bold, colorful pieces (a now established Marni trademark) would have been right up Andie’s (Molly Ringwald) alley. I can just picture her s…

‘Utilitarian’ and ‘luxury’ are not words likely to go hand-n-hand, but they’re the best words I can think of to characterize Gucci’s Spring 2009 Collection. Gucci delivers a collection that will appeal to both urbanites and ‘downtown’ chic ladies. The …

Bottega Veneta is synonymous with many things - elegance, effortless style and, of course, woven ‘intreciatto’ handbags. Their Spring 2009 Collection has all of these things I mentioned. There are plenty of lady-like pieces for the more conservative wo…

Reviewing an Oscar de la Renta collection is an easy job. I could simply pluck out any one of my earlier reviews, change the dates and seasons, and, voilà, a post is born. Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not implying that ODLR collections are boring o…
