Erin Fetherston Spring 2009

16 September 2008 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

I was quite in love with Erin Fetherston’s Spring/Summer RTW Collection! The first piece that caught my eye was the feminine brocade in white satin and metallic yellow embroidery on a trench – it was light, much like icing on a cake. In fact, all of her jackets were so beautifully constructed yet light on the body. The gladiator shoes in cream leather were just as lovely – I am craving for a pair! And then the dresses – it reminds me of Marchesa’s previous shapes, with volume at the bottom of the dress or mini. Where Marchesa used rich, heavy fabrics, Fetherston used airy ones (chiffon, I think?) to achieve the ethereal aura she is known for. After viewing the whole collection, I’ve decided that her inpsiration was cake; the metallic embroidery and bows are the sprinkles and such, and the poufs of volume, the icing. (The pastel colors were so delicious!)

xoxo.

    Oh, this was one of my favourite collections too. So delicate and feminine. It reminds me of long summer days having picnics in the park for some reason!

    i am in love with this collection as well and i love the way you think that her inspiration was cake.
    at this show everything was perfect: the light, styling, the hair. the girls seem to be hovering over the ground like feries or butterflys. so beautiful!
