Venexiana by Kati Stern AW 09

Can I ever say how much I love Kati Stern. What she does with Venexiana is eternally classy. Sparkle and sass reign supreme alongside her signature amazing use of fur. Additionally there was a great art deco inspiration in the sequin work. Big glittery girly bows abound throughout the collection. It would seem Kati wants us to reenter this depression with style and pretend it doesn't exist until it is over. The blue mink adds a great subtle color note with the silvers and blacks. Unlike many shows there was a great use of color in this collection. Khakis were offset with great plum fur and light pink accents, subtle olive and rose golds (including metallic pastels flower prints) added pop to the collection. Ladylike and strong these dresses are for the Teflon woman who doesn't get stuck in the economic quagmire. Simple, perfectly tailored, and with a Zen elegance these clothes are like a great Park Avenue apartment that has been Feng Shui-ed. Personally I am not so sure of the eyelet lace detailing on some of the fabrics - a rare misstep in over seventy looks. The white wedding dress at the end was to die for. Too bad there isn't an International Debutante Ball in 2009; I guess all the stylish young ladies out there will just have to tie the knot.
