Chado Ralph Rucci Fall 2006 Couture

A lovely Edo print, and the colors are delectable.

A seemingly haphazardly wrapped coat.

Beautiful embellishment on this ensemble.

Interesting color choices for this mirror-image applique pattern.

"Randomly" placed squares on this tunic.

Very much the grande-dame effect, with a very painterly effect to the bodice.
Chado Ralph Rucci Spring 2007 RTW

Classic coat and skirt duo with graphic print top.

Understated colorblocking with a delicate bracelet-like edge finish on the cuffs, collar and hem.

Graphic print twin-set with a python skirt.

One of several skin-look suits and a very nice blouse.

A dress with shaped panels.

Cutwork on this pantsuit, I believe. His pant is not exaggerated in style or shape at all.

Quite the cute little jacket top.

His classic front hem slit trouser with a faggoted blouse.

Porcupine quill trimmed jacket.

Feather-trimmed dress.

A beautiful juxtaposition of tailored and feminine.

A beautiful combination.

An unusual bodice and a lovely presentation.

More of his signature skins, but for evening.
Oscar de la Renta Spring 2007 RTW

A very pretty graduated print dress with matching shoes.

A cute, casual 2-piece dress with asymmetric collar.

A nice neckline, and very chic.

Apron dress with cute beaded applique embellishment shown in the detail shot below.


A very cool-looking tucked blouse and skirt from unusual eyelet fabric, shown below.


Classic shirtwaist dress in herringbone.

Raised-waist cap-sleeve blouse with wider straight-leg cuffed pant.

A very cute halter-effect neckline with a cute bow detail.


A very heavily embellished lace skirt and jacket.

Shaped piecing on a fabric with tiny tucks gives an unusual effect.

Tailored eveningwear in a heavily embroidered and beribboned fabric.

Zac Posen Spring 2007 RTW

Very ladylike, and we're going the high-waisted pant route.

A very romantic poet's blouse, with low-waisted pants.

An interesting design. Plain and classic.

A great blouse with a nice suit.

Beautiful volume and a lovely design.

This bodice style is showing up all over the runway this spring, and what a pretty version this is.

I love the smocked/woven effect on the blouse.

The winner for Shortest Trenchcoat of the Season so far.

Cute military influenced top and skirt.
