Hasta La Ideas

Milly is a label known for fun, flirty, ultra-femme styles that balance the sleek with the sexy and speak to chic women everywhere. For the fall 2009 collection, designer Michelle Smith was inspired by the ballerinas of New York and the looks balanced uptown sophistication with a downtown edge. Versatility was a key element of this collection and we saw lots of fabulous separates including an array of elbow-sleeve coats, micro-mini tweed skirts, wool tops, all of which can easily go from day to night and transition from one season to the next. Countless LBD’s were also thrown into the mix with frocks made from lace, velvet, and silk, all perfect for the polished party girl. The color palette was more somber than in season’s past but the pieces still stayed true to Milly’s signature playful spirit with flirty ruffles, bows, metallic threading, and ultra-femme silhouettes.
