PARIS: COLLETTE DINNIGAN F/W 09

The name Colette Dinnigan may have not been on the tip of retailers’ tongues these past seasons, but that may soon change after the success of her Fall 2009 collection. One could even call it a “boutique” line of 24 looks that was streamlined to the point of being perfectly edited without  being boring.  The collection had a vintage quality with Edwardian lace trims entwined in black evening gowns that gave her designs a youthful look without looking girly. Gorgeous black lace tops with exquisite embroidery details looked modern paired with short, sequined minis and sleek, black, pencil skirts. It was a collection done in the old standard,  “black in white” palette but managed to feel fresh and new.

The simple black dress gets a little more exciting with a cowlneck neckline and pocket trim, textured sleeves and a lace overlay option.
