Runway Report: Preen Spring 2010
Runway Report · September 11, 2009 · 1 Comment
Preen's Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi presented a collection of breezy, textured dresses and separates for the Preen spring 2010 collection, offering fans an update on fall's wildly successful asymmetrical body con dress.
This season the duo focused on designing with lighter fabrics and gently turning up the romance. Matted panels of ruffles (seen on shoulders as delicate epaulettes or exaggerating the hip) were strong statements, as were iridescent fabrics and lace — the former layered under the latter for a sequin effect.
Serpentine ropes also made an impact, draping around the body to connect contrasting panels and creating graphic necklines in bubble gum pink, gray and black.
To further illustrate spring's ligther tone, Thornton and Bregazzi introduced diaphanous looks with a selection of light-as-air dresses and tops in black, white, and yellow — most striking in the aforementioned pink, and in an elegant black A-line dress with three shoulder straps.
Although being a favorite of the fashion press doesn't always translate into financial success, the sold out status of Preen's fall merchandise is a pretty good indication that Thorton and Bregazzi just might have the best of both worlds.

Preen Resort 2010
feature · June 11, 2009 · 0 Comments
Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi's Resort collection for their label, Preen, was focused on cool dressing and sex appeal. That meant clothing was either slinky and loose or tight and short--both foolproof combinations for an it-girl. Modeled by Tatiana Cotliar, who bears a resemblance to Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, the collection reworked some of Preen's most popular designs.

Shopping: This Season's Little Black Dress
feature · March 18, 2009 · 0 Comments
This season's little black dress comes in as many varieties as ever but this time around they're rendered with mesh. Whether you're going for the power babe, body-con Alexander Wang look or something more demure and geometric like Acne's version you can pretty much find what you want. We especially love this look with dewy, minimal makeup and bare legs--it certainly makes the old LBD routine seem fresh again.
