A Garden Party in the City...Christian Cota Spring 2010

Ever think there is some sort of secret garden behind the tall and and treacherous buildings of New York City? Christian Cota wanted the woman to "look like she was blooming" - which was very true in many aspects. Florals are a typical print and inspiration for spring, but it was a good way of putting it.

The collection was in fact "blooming" - full of ladylike dresses, floral printed separates, flouncy suits, draped dresses, and high-waisted pencil skirts. Every piece was very clean and girly - great additions for a spring wardrobe. Some looks didn't quite fit, but I felt the designer had some great key pieces - and for a up and coming designer, that is all we can ask for!
