Designer Mimi Plange has always had a luxurious vision for her Boudoir d’Huitres. This season she was able to translate that luxe vision from the runway to your wardrobe – seamlessly. Wearable dresses, pants and skirts were given the luxury treatment with soft silks and impeccable craftsmanship. The navy blue knee length Oxford-style dress is our favorite.
Diane Von Furstenberg. Sandra Bernhardt. Andre Leon Talley – and that was just the first row. On the catwalk was Cassie and Deborah Cox, both of whom walked in LaQuan Smith’s Spring 2011 show.
