House of Deréon Delves Into Daywear

Beyonce and her mom Tina are busy ladies.

Beyonce and her mom Tina are busy ladies. Besides launching the Sasha Fierce collection, House of Deréon is designing a collection of day dresses for Spring. There will be a few dress and jacket ensembles, as well as jumpsuits in materials like washed rayon, silk, sateen, and spandex knit. "Beyoncé and I have had several occasions where we have meetings all day and don’t have time to run and change before dinner. This is a perfect collection to wear from the office to dinner because each piece can easily be dressed up or down," Tina Knowles said. The collection wholesales from $70 to $100 and will be available at select high-end department and specialty retailers.

As for the future? "I’m really hoping we can go into accessories really soon, especially jewelry. And as for shoes, that’s completely Beyoncé’s thing."

Immaterial: La robe est morte. Vive la Robe!

It feels like just as someone is proclaiming the death of one trend that trend is popping up everywhere.

It feels like just as someone is proclaiming the death of one trend that trend is popping up everywhere. Fashion trend tipping points and mass market bell curves aside, we think proclaiming the death of the dress is a little premature. Martin Margiela Silk Mini Dress
Marc by Marc Jacobs Green Button Down Day DressPlenty of other trends seem over done to us (purple, vests and wedges come to mind) but others we don't mind keeping around for a long time. Thus we celebrate two of our favorite long term trends, saturated hues and dresses, because no one else will. After all, what is easier than slipping into a brightly colored dress on those first few glorious days of spring? We are particularly enamored by this MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela Lilac Silk mini dress and this Jungle Green Marc by Marc Jacobs Button Down Dress.

Sunny Day

Fall 2008 Trend: Sunny Day Dresses

Designers are banking that women's appetites for dresses remains strong for Fall 2008. Even if the economic climate isn't so sunny designers seem to believe bright day dresses will open their pocketbooks. And while we think it makes more sense to buy mix and match clothing for maximum versatility in a downturn sometimes we all need something to help get us through a sunny day. Nicole Miller, Lacoste, Erin Fetherston, Yigal Azrouel, Diesel and Marc by Marc all have their own version of the warmly colored day dress this season.
