NY Fashion Week: Herve Leger Spring / Summer 2010

Nice and fresh fabrications, treatments and sun-softened beachy palette which evoked a pinch of country sensibility I hustled into the Herve Leger Spring 2010 show amidst throngs of bandage dressed women of all ages.

Maybe it was a little literal, too easy a hint at what was to come, but it worked. And when the lights went down and then up, a nice hushed energy filled the room. The models seemed to radiate from a shadowy zen garden. Cibani invited 2 amazingly talented craftsmen to help realize her take on Japonisme: Julia Lundsten the designer of Finsk - whose moulded stingray pumps
