Urban Femininity, Rebecca Taylor, NY Fashion Week Spring 2010

By Laura Medina

Drape Collar, Slouch Shoulder, Puff Sleeve Coat

The Rebecca Taylor girl works, lives and plays in the city. It's a jaunty mix of flirty flounce and tossing on her father's/brother's/boyfriend's/husband's blazer but redone in softer satins and in

soothing pastels.

Slate Blue Satin Blazer

Our girl likes to wear her boyfriend’s blazers and super soft cashmere athletic inspired sweaters thrown over top tiny leather skirts.

Electric Blue Sweater

Spring 2010 encompasses playful use of colors, prints and textures. The palette is intense with shades of big apple reds, shocking pinks, electric blues, and retro jades contrasted with desert tans and soft, peachy oranges.

White Drawstring Peasant Blouse

Sharper than seasons past, strong shoulders and a new, waisted silhouette enhance the look our girl wantonly craves.

Navy, Puff Shoulder Blazer with White Polka Dots

Towering printed sandals and architectural structured stretch dresses are softened with femme corset-inspired bustiers and flippy, fun, pull on printed skirts.

The pairing of slouchy but structured Boyfriend Blazers over existing flouncy, floral sundresses is economical and easily accessible tranisition from the Spring 2009 to Spring 2010.
