All the World Needs Now

Narciso Rodriguez SS10

3.1 Phillip Lim SS10

Marc Jacobs SS10

If you're already sick of Fall's studded boots and leather, then the 2010 shows have welcome news for you— romanticism and everything sickly sweet is in. My favorite looks from the New York collections dove into this theme with frothy abandon, yet were set apart by a little spunk. Think the flowing grey silk gown Narciso Rodriguez sent down the runway. It's dramatic and soft, yet ever so slightly boyish in its shapelessness and unexpected color. Likewise, Phillip Lim balanced a pale pink shift with a fire engine red trench, and Marc Jacobs' finale of a ruffled gown avoided banality thanks to its see-through fabric. Being good never felt so fun.
