Collette Dinnigan Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear
Abaeté falls into that category I like to call "designer clothes for real people." Laura Poretzky translates very chic trends into very wearable clothes--and her sense of fashion democracy extends to a line of supercute (and super cheap) shoes for Payless. What's not to love? We caught up with the designer to find out what's going through her mind as she prepares for her Fall 2009 runway show next week...
Slaves to Fashion: How many cups of coffee have you been averaging a day? How many hours of sleep?Laura Poretzky: I�?ve been averaging three cups of coffee a day with a six hour average of sleep time. It�?s much too little for me!
STF: What's the inspiration behind your fall 2009 line?
LP: I was inspired by the "Incroyables" and their manner of dress. They were a group of dandies in France after the revolution. They wore so many different layers, and mixed different fabrics with one another. I tried to emulate that in my line this season, by maximizing the versatility of each piece and by making each item a few pieces in one.
__STF: If you weren�?t working on your fall collection, where would you be? __
LP: In Costa Rica, learning how to surf better.
STF: What's the first thing you'll do when your show is over?
__LP:__Go to Costa Rica and learn how to surf better!
STF: Who would be in your dream front row?
LP: My dream front row would have Michelle Obama, Andy Warhol, Angelina Jolie, Diana Ross and Beyonce.
STF: What's your best spot in New York City for being creative?
__LP:__The bar at Balthazar. It kind of feels like the subway in the way that it's so crowded with people but somehow you feel at peace and alone there.
We imagine a few glasses of Cabernet Franc help, Laura! Keep checking back for more updates from your favorite designers as they prepare for fashion week...
She merged the two elements into a fresh, uncluttered collection that could coherently take a girl from tropical boardwalk to city sidewalk. (And in the case of a couple of Deauville looks, onward to the Norman Riviera.) Color-block dresses in the sun-drenched hues of South Beach came in a candy-box assortment: There were flowing bohemian maxis, smartly tailored shifts, a sexy draped strapless number, and a fifties party frock.
High-waisted pinup bikinis didn't appear entirely seaworthy, but they were clean-lined enough not to fall into the dusty vintage trap. Other ideas—both good (a palm-print shirtdress) and bad (a perforated-leather sheath)—were scattered here and there, breaking up the slight monotony that was the only real fault of a collection with great commercial potential.
