2010 fashions
Jessica Biffi spring 2010 show opened with a glow in the dark costume of spray paint that looked as though he created all layers of vertical blinds. The dress appears again in the fishery, a strong point in a ravel-inspired collection that seems to be entirely composed of combinations. (Okay, not quite, but one third of it at least.) There were knee length pastel shirt options, micro-flake gold top with body straps blousy, a short pink dress that leaves model breasts hang out (intentionally, I fear), suits with low-cut pants in a bright zebra / Leopard burnout fabric has also shown some dresses and shorts in acid green cap with pleating details, the best of the bunch. Folds reflects the effect of pebbles first dress, appearing as a strapless peplum or a hot pink mini-skirt. The best example is a pleated skirt cup of tea with tiers of ivory shimmering its stiff, pendulum shone in an entirely different.

I was actually on Style.com today,” said Rashida Jones last night at the debut of Lacoste’s Pink Croc Collection benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in Los Angeles. “I went on because I have a friend at the shows in Paris and she told me I had to check out Stella McCartney and Lanvin.” Well, what a wise pal. Jones was out to support her friend Leslie Mann, who hosted the event to debut the eight-piece collection, which sends a whopping 10 percent of its profits to the cause. Jones stole away from the comedic dream team in attendance (Judd Apatow, Jason Segel, and Michael Cera) to dish on her favorite shows so far. “Stella was amazing; she’s just so feminine with those exaggerated ruffles,” she said. “And Lanvin was just sickening…my friend said she literally wanted to throw herself on the stage.” So, what could we expect to see her in next? “There was this Stella McCartney printed green dress that had a ruffle on the sleeve in the show,” said Jones. “It was just perfect.”
