Donna Karan Spring 09

Magnificent. Donna Karan has done an excellent job with the line this season. This collection is to die for and these dresses are some of the best dresses that I've seen stroll down a runway. She went with a lot of Grecian drapery and it worked out well for her. The influence was definitely drawn from Cleopatra and the elements that surround her: beauty, elegance, seduction, sexiness and mystery. The first dress that I have shown is a dead give away to the Cleopatra theme and the rest of the dresses below follow suite. Drapery is always nice but when you add knots, sequins, stones and you use materials like satin and silk you get a phenomenal dress that is totally wearable. Your not going to wear one of these evening gowns for everyday city life but thats why Karan also does DKNY for everyday wearability. These gowns are show stoppers and should be treated as such so get your shoes in order, make sure your hair is perfect, beat your face, do the nails, some nice VS1 stones around your neck and your ready to turn that soiree into columbine (no offense to the victims and the families of the victims of that tragedy).
