Fashion Distraction :: Rebecca Taylor Spring 2010
We can always count on Rebecca Taylor for an ultra feminine collection. For Spring 2010, her designs were a bit edgier, a bit younger and much stronger. Floral prints and ruffles remained, but the hemlines were shorter, the shoulders were stronger and the details were edgier.
Taylor extended the 80’s redux from Fall 2009 into her designs for Spring 2010 with jumpsuits, pleated pants, full skirts, exposed zippers, metallic materials and polka dotted pieces.

What Can We Take Away?
Styles from the 80’s will definitely remain for next Spring 2010. Full skirts, boyfriend blazers, strong shoulders and one-shoulder designs are not fleeting trends–they’ll have lasting power at least through next Summer.
But, what we can take away from Rebecca Taylor’s collection more than anything else is the idea that anything goes–florals with polka dots, body-con tops with full skirts, t-shirts with suit skirts–if you wear it creatively and confidently.
Thoughts?
While I might not wear every outfit Taylor showed, I’m a fan of the general feel of this collection. I like the edginess mixed with the femininity and the focus on creative pairings.
