Some
of the 2009 spring collections to be featured on eLUXURY have been
created by industry standbys, new to eLUXURY but, among the fashion
world, seasoned talents. Maria Cornejo, for instance, the designer
behind Zero + Maria Cornejo, has been designing since the '80s.
With a sculptural sensibility and minimalist approach, Maria Cornejo
creates wearable art-as-fashion. Her unpretentious designs like this
Concave Lapel Coat, have earned her a dedicated fan base.
Another
industry favorite among shoe enthusiasts is Repetto, founded by Rose
Repetto over 60 years ago. The Parisian footwear label is now coveted by
fashion's elite. Repetto has evolved into an entire line of chic and
comfortable shoes. The Perforated Ballerina, included in eLUXURY's
spring collection, is a fresh spin on the classic ballet flat.
Melissa
Plastic Dreams' shoe line will also be included in eLUXURY's new spring
collection. The phenomenal popularity behind Melissa footwear rests in
its lineup of prestigious design partners, including fashion designer
extraordinaire Vivienne Westwood. The Lady Dragon Slingback Sandals,
made in collaboration with Westwood, are one of the many styles made from Melissa's signature eco-friendly plastic.
Four
more designers complete the 2009 spring collection. Hussein Chalayan,
appropriately dubbed fashion's "mad scientist," fuses fashion with art,
architecture, and technology in unlikely yet visually enchanting ways.
His neoprene Bonded Jersey One-Shoulder Dress, is sure to be a show stopper.
French
designer Sophie Théallet brings her runway-awing looks to eLUXURY. In
our new spring collection, a sophisticated yet bohemian element can be
seen in Théallet's Silk Chiffon Cocktail Dress, with its complex
pleating and cascading silhouette.
Mary
Kate and Ashley Olsen's ultra-cool label, Elizabeth and James, is sure
to be a contemporary favorite with eLUX fashionistas. Combining a
downtown edge with uptown aesthetics, the duo's spring collection of
menswear-inspired pieces, like the James IV Blazer, has a distinctly feminine touch.
Finally,
no It Girl's closet would be complete without at least one piece from
fashion's hottest newcomer, Alexander Wang. His elegant riff on the
"off-duty model" look captured the industry by storm in 2007. Must-haves
from the collection include silky tees and the Slinky Goddess Dress, a sleek white staple for spring.
Launched
