With a bachelors degree in English Lit from the University of Virginia and a penchant for tailored jersey, Natascha Stolle has us at hello. Seeing American-born designers show during another city's fashion week also hits a soft spot for us. So, at the Fashion East show, Stolle showed the kind of pinned up separates (hooray, more high waists!) and supersoft-tailoreds (made up word!) we hoped to see. Think couch appropriate glamour. Oh, and bonus points for that one-sided hair styling.
London Fashion Week Spring Summer 2009.

Bright colored silks and heavy chains sound like a brilliant combination to us, and so the vision of Louise Gray Spring 09 was quite spectacular. This was a very sexy collection, models showed of the small of their back, the side of their breast, their legs, their stomach but not all at once. It was ninety-degree, slick back your hair and wear only mascara-kind of fashion sense and this is always appreciated. Because sometimes that’s just the reality of the situation and it’s nice not to have to live in your cut-offs. (Pardon the 'stage left' video footage. In London the pit is more valuable than row two (asinine, we know!) and when a gal's running all over town--apparently--these are her options. If you're an optimist you'll see the garments as an example of how fabulous you'll look when you catch your reflection in a shop window).
