Charlotte Ronson’s Spring 2011 runway show was all about mixing the hard with the soft.  She gave us pretty dresses with socks and sandals, knit hats and the occasional hoodie.  You could easily see Ronson herself in many of these pieces.   Her collection was muted with pops of color in orange, yellow and bright prints.  The hemlines varied, but on average, they landed below the calf.  If you love to mix and match, this collection is for you.  Each piece is well-made and could be styled in countless ways.  Sheer fabric was seen throughout the collection, and it definitely made the garments softer and more feminine.

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 was even more fun filled and exciting than last year.  The crowds were bigger, the lines were longer and the patrons were happier.  Bergdorf Goodman was my first stop and I was met by a line that was three rows deep.  I decided to stick around because I was already sold on the canine runway.  On the judging panel was fashion designer Monique Lhuillier and handbag designer Tinsley Mortimer.  Celebrity stylist Robert Verdi hosted the event. 

I did not get to see the entire canine runway unfold because I had to make press check-in at the I Heart Ronson event downtown.  The designer made her appearance with Gossip Girl’s Michelle Tractenberg.  The music was rocking upon entering the event, and I noticed that Ronson’s sister, Samantha, was the D.J.  It was a lovely cupcake and tea social, and a sweet way to end a long day at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Whew!  It’s spring, nice to see you again.  After all the fall looks for 2009 it is great to look back at the light and cheerful looks for spring 2009.  How great is it to see legs, arms and shoulders again?  Take a look at Charlotte Ronson’s fashion show spring 2009.
