Just when it was beginning to seem that spring would be awash in neutrals, Z Spoke, the newer, lower-priced line from Zac Posen, dazzled audiences with a rainbow of flirtatious colors, girly silhouettes, and oodles of celebs. From prints of cartoon heads and anthropomorphized fruit to crocheted bras worn outside blouses, the show was playfully tongue-in-cheek — just like its name, a play on the British term “bespoke,” which refers to posh, custom-made garments.

Claire Danes, Carmen Electra, and Kristen Cavalleri (who gushed, “I’m wearing Z Spoke”) looked on as models pranced down the runway. The first look was a feminine jersey coat cut mid-thigh in a vivid orange hue that teetered on the edge of red and was boldly paired with a knit coral pink snake-print tank dress. Each look that followed was more irresistible than the last.

Silhouettes were hourglass; waists cinched, tops reminiscent of corsets, and breasts celebrated with ruffles and lace. Work separates were light-hearted, like a high-wasted navy voile pant and tailored jacket combo paired with a fruit cocktail-print blouse. Eveningwear ranged from gregarious yellow plaids piped with black to sensual black cut-out dresses and long, and flouncing fringe — perfect for the extroverted Posen girl, at every price point.

Despite the dropping Mercury outside the tents, the audience in the Theater left invigorated with spring fever.

It is so refreshing to read about fashion and fun in a time when there is so much bad news. It seems the fashion designers are taking the economy into account with their value based Spring fashions....and they are bright and cheerful to boot!
