CAROLINA HERRERA PRE-FALL 2010.

CAROLINA HERRERA

PRE-FALL 2010 COLLECTION.

"I wanted everything light as a feather," Carolina Herrera said about pre-fall.

MODEL: AUDI

Where better to look for inspiration than the tango? The designer used a colorful 1920's print of dancers locked arm in arm for both a crepe de chine cocktail dress and a floor-length shirt gown, and its bold hues—lava red, dandelion yellow, and Directoire blue—informed the rest of a cheerful collection that played to the designer's strengths.

Herrera's tweed separates are so airy you can practically see through them, though her lineup was mostly dresses: above-the-knee blouson shifts and fitted sheaths, some with embroidered brooches, for day; and, for after eight, a moiré draped one-shoulder column and a floral-print jacquard dot fils coupe number sure to see a lot of action on the gala circuit.

MODEL: YANA KARPOVA.

The pièce de résistance was a strapless multi-stripe gown with long train made from a single piece of draped duchesse satin.

It wasn't necessarily made for dancing, but it would make an unforgettable entrance.

Milly by Michelle Smith Spring 2010 RTW.

Abbey Lee

Let other designers have their springtime florals and pastels. Milly's Michelle Smith is going for something darker.

"It sounds funny," Smith, best known for her bright sixties-inspired shifts, said backstage today, "but basing a whole collection around the color black felt really fresh and unexpected."

Smith stuck with her tried-and-true silhouettes—sheaths, minishorts, and swingy elbow-sleeve coats with oversize buttons—giving the ebony versions a touch of whimsy with dramatic gold embellishment around necklines and hems.

The real story today, though, was the debut of Milly's costume jewelry. A longtime collector herself, Smith weighed down her models with tangles of chunky chain necklaces and stacked bangles that, even worn solo, are standout statement pieces priced well at $200 to $400.
