Newsworthy for Spring
SPRING'S BIGGEST TREND? Finding must-have pieces from designers
previously unavailable in Washington
For women, easy dresses ruled the runway. Whether the fluid and fun pieces from Christopher Deane or the structured,
almost architectural dresses and skirts from Lanvin–you'll be right on mark for Spring. For a more glamorous evening,
Collette Dinnigan couldn't be more of the moment. And for all of the men in our life, Eric Finn's custom suits allow him to
be as trendy or traditional as his comfort allows. Add innovation to his suit with accessories-we love the new take on one
of Britain's most refined men's shoes, Barker Black.
