Spring dress fever - Alexander McQueen

And now the last spring dress fever week pick, but most certainly not the least… {drumroll} - Alexander McQueen. Speechless was my first reaction when I saw his Spring 2008 Collection. If you can find words to do justice to this piece, then drop me a line. I am still hypnotized by the magic. I adore and salute his use of feathers in the front versus the back, which usually propels angelic reference. The use of materials and colors is exquisite. If I could only afford it, I would wear it in a heartbeat.

Spring dress fever - Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent has been the paragon of class, elegance and simplicity since the beginning. This mod inspired dress is no surprise, but a confirmation of “less is more”. Yet, simplicity is sometimes harder to achieve than we think. We tend to either overkill with jewelry or understate with flats. Stripped of superfluous accessories, this look is so clean and fresh that it needs little else. Let your glowing skin get all the attention this spring!

Spring dress fever - Diane Von Furstenberg

Uh, this dress is just what the doctor ordered this spring! The over-sized loose casual cut creates a comfort quality and the open neck is revealing enough to feel sexy. Green is one of my favorite colors and this shade is very soothing. Thank you, Diane Von Furstenberg, for a beautiful spring dress… that I just might have to splurge on.

Spring dress fever - Martin Margiela

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.

Spring dress fever - Roland Mouret

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.
