Silhouettes of ancient Greece. Sensual communes of Saint-Tropez. Julia Clancey’s Un Petit Quelquechose Spring-Summer 2009 Collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles was an ethereal fashion escapade.
The show began with an inspiring performance of “Mal di Luna” by opera singer, Summer Watson. Her voice set the tone for a classical evening of raw emotion and fairy tale love.
Julia Clancey’s Spring-Summer 2009 Collection featured soft long flowing dresses, gowns and caftans in light pastel colors. Silk and chiffon dominated the runway to show elegance. Notable designs were baby doll dresses, draped layered skirts, long gowns and low plunging necklines. Metallic trims, sophisticated crystal adornments, bejeweled masks, gold beaded chain linked straps, head scarves and Jackie O sunglasses accentuated the runway’s ambiance. Thematic colors show gold embellishments, bit of blue pale white fabrics, shiny ivory garments, bonnie blue to porcelain aquamarine hues, muskmelon orange shades and young wheat yellow tints.
