While New Yorkers are gearing up for a sneak peek of Fall '09 styles at February's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, independent designers all over the city are unveiling their spring collections. It can admittedly be a bit of drag to see a parade of more coats, sweaters, hats, and scarves while we're already cold and shivering, a fact which makes these spring shows all the more appreciated and promising. This sense of seasonal optimism was no exception at the Thuy Spring '09 Runway Show last Friday.
More photos and story below:
Thuy Diep, a Vietnamese-born designer, brought the promise of a cheerful spring to our winter-weary eyes, with flowing, feminine dresses in eye-popping brights as well as softer pastels. The long, lean silhouettes and intricate detailing have been impeccably rendered in a collection that ranges from billowing, diaphanous evening gowns to chic and structured seperates . Spring may be a long time coming, but Thuy's designs have given us something to look forward to when the ground finally does thaw.
