Coquette Collette
Designer Collette Dinnigan didn't make the 19-hour trip to Paris this season from Sydney, but her Fall collection did. Showing her pretty dresses on the racks at Le Meurice hotel, Dinnigan exemplified why beads and lace are her preferred materials and Resort 2010 was no exception.
Ornately embroidered tank dresses—said to be a favorite of a certain Top 40 country pop starlet—mingled next to delicate lace gowns (including some of the designer's wood nymph-like bridal looks) and airy cotton eyelet day looks. Dinnigan incorporated bright geometric prints inspired by the translucent waters and stark white buildings of Santorini, but intricate details—like an opalescent rhinestone trim on a billowy chiffon frock—kept the bold patterns from becoming overbearing. There was nothing agenda-setting here, but plenty of pretty pieces for the girl-about-town.
The boldly colored, painterly floral prints of Dinnigan's ruffled and tiered dresses—the models wore them shrugging off of one shoulder—had a real personality. The Aussie dress specialist embraced lace, the fabric with which she had her first success. Most of the frocks came in user-friendly black, and with their lean, to-the-body shapes, they could quite easily make the leap from cocktail hour to the office with the addition of a jacket.
