The latest collection featured flirty signature dresses, light denim standouts, jumpsuits galore and knotted necklaces.

Max Azria
Max and Lubov Azria were minimalists for Spring 2009. The audience watched a parade of jersey girls in an almost exclusively pale and neutral color palette. The look for the season mostly very fluid, with lots of draping, twisting, and casually exposed shoulders and backs. There was also a clean athleticism to it, with tops and dresses layered over bandeaux, bodysuits, and stretchy ribbed belts. Evening wear was similarly clean in unembellished georgette, cut to dramatically flap and flutter.
Matthew Williamson
Matthew Williamson started his Spring 2009 show with sharply tailored suits in neon colors. His speacialty includes bohemian beading, caftans, a belted, allover sequin tunic dress, a beaded bed jacket worn with an easy T-shirt and cropped white jeans, and an absolutely electric abstract floral-print chiffon jumpsuit, as well as parachute pants.
Sophie Theallet
Theallet began with crisp white dresses and moved into beige colors decorated with floral prints, followed by dramatic Grecian gowns. Shirtdresses were belted at natural waists, there was frill without overdoing it, and it was all about the details, from the ties to the visible zippers.
