New York Fashion Week: Chris Benz Fall 09 Gallery

Acid green, electric blue and red – Chris Benz clearly got the ’80s memo as well. But, it really seems like designers have hit a stride with the ’80s inspirations and found a way to make new modern looks with that era in mind. After last season’s pretty, flowy pastels it’s as if Benz turned up the volume and definitely tightened up the tailoring. I loved the fitted looks and flattering retro silhouettes pulling from many decades in printed silk charmeuse, micro-paillettes and wool. One thing’s for sure, fall is going to be anything but boring.
