Trend de la Creme is a Coutorture Network Partner and our resident comparison contributor--her ability to match runway images and natural phenomena is truly remarkable. This week marks her first foray into the Spring 2009 collections and it's an intense start for sure. Erin Fetherston (before she moved onto a more structured silhouette) showed a Spring 2009 collection with a number of billowing frocks. Trend de la Creme noticed a comparison immediately--between those frocks and the mushroom clouds produced by nuclear bombs. Probably not what Fetherston had in mind but there's no denying the resemblance.
Because there's always time to shop during Fashion Week--Rebecca Minkoff's Spring 2009 handbag range will debut at Henri Bendel with its own in-store pop-up shop later this week. Minkoff will be there to sign handbags (lining bound, of course) and talk to clients about the new collection. Having seen her Spring 09 collection up close at the Intermezzo trade show earlier this year, we can say it will be more than worth the trip. Minkoff's faux-croc laptop cases, studded envelope clutches, and classic morning-after bags are certainly looking fresh, colorful, and investment-worthy this season.
The Spring 2009 Topshop Unique collection, which showed during London Fashion Week, is beginning to hit shelves. This morning about a dozen items from the collection were released on the retailer's website. The collection is essentially a round up this season's trends with, of course, jumpsuits, studded jackets, and crop tops taking top billing. Deliveries should continue to trickle in but one thing is for sure, these pieces won't stick around for long. Our favorite item so far? A very Givenchy Spring 09-looking studded bodysuit. What will actually make it into our shopping cart? Harem trousers.
