Keith Lissner SS09




Beware, if you have a sweet-tooth for fashion you may have just found your designer. Walking into Keith Lissner's presentation I felt like a kid in his first candy store. The pastel palette was strengthened by shimmering metallic silvers and blacks – a wonderful pushback against traditional and all too demure spring looks. Immediately I was drawn to the grouping of silk georgette dresses coated in sugary beading reminiscent of the sand dollars dotting the shores of the chic east coast beach resorts you know these dresses are made for. Pearl encrusted dresses and elegantly pleated metallic silks offered a great contrast to the sea of beautiful and billowy chiffons. The collection popped at the end with short sequined frocks paired with an airy silk chiffon overlay.

Ethereal and powerful - these pieces are a reflection of the Lissner woman. One can be certain that at next summer’s best events the social powerbroker will be wearing one of Lissner's dresses as she holds court.
