Although not technically a dress, but a great spring look, nonetheless, by none other than my other beloved Belgian fashion designer, Ann Demeulemeester. This outfit is classic and timeless, yet hip and modern at the same time. I love how it is multi-layered and rich in accessories. It’s appropriate for day or evening wear.

This is my favorite Martin Margiela dress from his Spring 2008 collection. I’m not usually a fan of elaborate prints, but this Western fantasy tube dress speaks to me. The image is very striking. I love the color palette and the way the transparent jersey drapes the body.

The sun is back out and it’s time to primp up. This week I will focus on sexy dresses for spring 2008. Running out of inspiration for fitted spring dresses? Roland Mouret has the best cuts and colors and… oh, so much class! Shame the models look so gaunt - I had to crop their heads off so that you can focus on the clothes instead of anorexia. You can view the rest of the collection on video at the NY mag site.

From the same designer that brought you spring bling, comes another creative object: Ready-to-Wear Chair. Jennifer Flume designed it in “response to the increasingly alienating spaces of contemporary urban life, the lack of privacy and personal address“. Flume’s design reminds us of our undeniable innate need for intimacy, warmth and comfort. Love the concept, don’t you?

Oh, where art thou Owens? We miss you. You have abandoned your urban jungle for greener pastures without looking back. Where are your asymmetric tops and gentle fabrics, your modern cuts and subtle tones? Paris gets you, I know, but so do your roots.
