It appears that even Versace is fearful of the recession, with a dramatically toned-down pre-fall 2009 collection. There were a number of Grecian-inspired, red-carpet frocks, however my eyes were immediatly drawn to this rather mod, practical dress. It goes from sweet, to attitude-heavy with the over-the-knee pirate boots, but I love that its dress that comes from Versace that could 100% work to wear during the day. The neckline and waist detailing give an ever so slight mod-bondage feel, but otherwise, it could work in corporate America (sans the boots, of course – replace with some round-toe pumps or riding boots).

If you haven’t yet heard of Susan Farber, now is the time to take notice. Ahead of the curve, the designer was the first to interpret the bow trend for bags when she launched her collection in 2003 with her signature “Sofia” bag. Susan works with incredibly soft, supple, and buttery leathers to create her bags, and manages to be a wife, a mother, and run her company out of Pittsburgh, PA. Since the launch of her line, she’s branched into a variety of styes and received accolades from a slew of publications, including WWD, Lucky, Elle, and more. Plus, her bags have been spotted on the arm of celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Debra Messing, and Angelica Houston. Her bags are available at boutiques nationwide, or shop online at www.SusanFarberCollections.com.

Out of the entire pre-fall 2009 collection, this was the “stunner”, the dress that I just couldn’t get out of my mind. It has an almost apron-like overlay to it, and defines the next wave of the “gradient” trend — rather two separate colors that have a thin line that blends the two for a second, then let’s each color own its own identity. And that, folks, is fashion perfection! In fact, I think this is something Michelle Obama may want to wear…it may not be inaugural material, but adequate for a state dinner…
