Luca Luca’s spring 2010 collection can best be described as light and bright. Half the collection consisted of simple white pieces shot though with bursts of fuchsia, cobalt, and goldenrod patterns. The other half consisted of full on bold colors – spring is here! The sweetheart neckline was also quite prevalent throughout the show, along with off-the-shoulder, and rope halter silhouettes. Luca Orlandi tended to favor a loose construction and rounded edges this season-a break from his more structured garments. Soft sunburst pleating appeared on many of the dresses and also the foam evening gowns, and tiered ruffles definitely dominated the collection this season. Ruffles and pleating seemed to largely be used to break up sections of stiffer pieces, as well as composing entire gowns of sheer tiers, pleats, and ruffles. Last, neutral taupe linen dresses, jumpers, and trenches were also included (often with peek-a-boo patterned pleating) for a more casual day in the life of the Luca Luca lady.
