Runway Roundup: Vera Wang Fall 2009

Just back from my front row seat at the runway shows a.k.a. my computer and I am happy to report that Vera Wang's new collection is a modern marvel!

There were a few collections that I thought were a little questionable, but her Spring 2009 and the new Fall designs will definitely make dress shopping for you ladies much more difficult.

Ball Gown with Ribbon detailing at the skirt and Taffeta sash at the waist. Ruched Dropped waist Chiffon Mermaid - please note brides if you are not model tall, I would highly recommend raising the drop waist.



Strapless dropped waist ruched taffeta and taffeta sash. Silk charmeuse with sash underneath the bust - love the color palette!



Gray strapless with organza petals throughout the bodice and skirt. Strapless satin with gray chiffon overlay



Silk charmeuse, plunging v neck with chiffon overlay at bodice. Layered organza with sash underneath the bust - love the necklace!



Cowl neck dropped waist whisper champagne, sash at the natural waist. Sweetheart empire waist satin with embellished applique at the bust



Creamy latte ruched chiffon, contrast black detail at the straps and underneath the bust, cut chiffon skirt. Strapless chiffon and organza, embellished brooch at ruched skirt with ivory cut chiffon underskirt.

New trend - bold statement jewelry to luxe up any bridal look, less bridal, more fashion. I guess the sash is here to stay but in a more palette friendly, less obtrusive way. I am a fan of color but I think most brides will still opt for a more traditional color.
