As spring merchandise is already starting to file into the store racks and shelves, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite looks from the I Heart Ronson, Bisou Bisou, and Olsenboye collections for JCPenney.

Spring 2011 Runway Reviews: Pamella Roland, G-Star RAW

Pamella Roland Spring 2011
The Pamella Roland presentation was a lovely cocktail party at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The mannequins were set up around the perimeter of the space decked out in Pamella’s elegant evening wear or dressed up day wear. My faves were definitely the trench coat that reaches the floor, and the organically stripped one shoulder dress belted at the waist.
G-Star RAW Spring 2011
The star-studded G-Star RAW show was held in Chelsea Piers this season on Pier 94. The denim line was inspired by the desert with fully functional pieces and fabrics reminiscent of parachute material. The color scheme showed a range of blue, sand, black, and white. I particularly liked the open back cut of pieces in the women’s line and the over-sized hoods. Menswear had great jackets with mandarin/motorcycle collars and new lengths on pants. I noticed the ‘fanny pack’ being brought back in a whole new way – over-sized and actually worn over the ‘fanny’! All in all, a great show to watch and some interesting newness to add to dress casually for spring .

Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2011
Although her revisited clothing line is a few seasons old, the footwear line is brand new at Rebecca Minkoff! The presentation format of the collection gave an up close and personal take on clothing that isn’t necessarily meant to stun, but to wear and love every day. We couldn’t agree more and loved the two-toned classic silhouettes and shapes of the new handbag collection that was surprisingly, and perhaps refreshingly, void of hardware.
Chris Benz Spring 2011 Collection
It was a trip not down memory lane, but a lovely rendition nonetheless of ’60s inspired frocks for the latest Spring 2011 collection from Chris Benz. Ballooning silhouettes and a both bright and muted color palette gave way to modern touches that on takers seemed to genuinely revel in; from office appropriate, to girl about town, this collection was one of his finest yet, sure to cement his an a fashion week mainstay.
