I'm actually seeing many similarities to Marni in this collection. There isn't much to complain about here; Behnaz's work seems to be improving with each season.
the prints are lovely...
the colours trends are more and more announced!
there are some cute details...
basic? i don't know... it's very NY actually... but i think it's fresh and simple... good for summer in town...good for cocktails and openings...

I think you need to read about her intentions before you judge the collection:
Quote:
NEW YORK, September 7, 2007 – Can eco-friendly fashion be truly luxurious? That's the question Behnaz Sarafpour attempted to address in her Spring show, which included a capsule collection of limited-edition green looks that made use of organic fabrics and natural dyeing techniques.
To her credit, she did her best to chase any granola-and-hemp clichés away from the waffle-weave cotton that she printed with tropical palms and cut into dresses and coats. But their unpolished look indicated that the answer to the above question is "Maybe not this season." The high-end customer doesn't want to sacrifice elegance in order to literally wear her good deeds on her sleeve.
Even beyond the green wares, the collection maintained a fresh-scrubbed, holistic vibe with crispy white cottons; coarsely textured rattans embellished with wood, turquoise, and coral beads; and leaf-print matelassé. Sarafpour ran the gamut with her many dresses, but seemed bogged down in vintage silhouettes like the shirtwaist.
More imaginative and modern were a pair of ombré pleated tank dresses. If Sarafpour wants to win converts to her cause, she might move more in that direction.
