DENNIS BASSO
It was all about details at Dennis Basso. In a collection of frocks of all shapes and sizes, geometric layers of tulle, alligator leather, chinchilla fur accents, neoprene and intricate beading brought the collection together. A palette of muted shades of gold, silver, black and nude with hints of mint, blue and pink played out in a hard edged romance, with hand printed flowers on organza offset by distinct geometric cutouts and shapes.
RODARTE
Rodarte's gilded spring collection isn't lacking in the whimsy normally present in their collections. Fabrics and textures running the gamut from rich to natural, are layered and contrasted with each other in the designer's signature geometric detailing. New prints, including a faux bois wood design, are piled on top of each other in what could be a messy combination, but is entirely pleasing to the eye, resulting in a collection that reflects Rodarte's quirky and unconventional take on fashion.
VERA WANG
Vera Wang took a trip to the far east for her spring collection, infusing elements of Asian culture into her pieces. The primarily black-and-tan collection featured wrap tops, rope belts and architectural origami-like structure. Eastern prints made their way onto modernized Cheongsams. The urban silhouettes spanned from more feminine pieces to positively boyish looks paired with heavy, chunky shoes.

MULBERRY
With a background of roses and caricatured brick, models strut down a wooden runway clad in English tea party-ready frocks and matching red wigs. In a palette of peaches, pinks and purples with splashes of cobalt, Mulberry presented a collection perfectly suited for ladies who lunch—or have time for a proper afternoon tea. Paired with chunky clog boots and Mulberry's signature bags, it was a relaxed and comfortable collection.

KAREN WALKER
Every single piece in Karen Walker's spring collection would look perfectly at home at a picnic, garden party or even a bustling city center. The easy breezy collection was filled with separates in yellow, orange, blue, gray and khaki and an array of lighthearted prints. Details such as cuffs and cowl necks on dresses, blousy puff sleeves and bow belts added richness, whimsy and a slight edge. All in all, a wearable, fun collection from start to finish.

RACHEL ROYRachel Roy's spring collection is not for the color shy. Vivacious brights in aqua, eggplant and cobalt dominated, offset slightly by a smattering of nudes and neutrals. An overall feminine aesthetic shone through although it was not overtly girly, with several pieces including a shrunken grandpa cardigan and studded bustier adding a subtle boyish flair. Clean-cut and figure grazing, each piece showcased an easy, effortless, ladylike style.
BADGLEY MISCHKA
If anyone can be counted on to present a collection which inspires chivalry and romance, it's Badgley Mischka—and they did not disappoint for spring 2011. Flowy and soft fabrics in an equally calming palette of white, nude, sea foam and salmon paraded light as a feather down the runway on models with frothy curls. Even pants and shorts were lent an airy mystique, as if their wearer hadn't a care for hard lines and masculinity.
