After a few seasons of playing catch the trend, Collette Dinnigan returned to her strengths for Fall, and wouldn t you know it? The trends have caught up with her. Slipdresses have been big news at Paris important collections, which means Dinnigan s practiced versions should prove alluring to retailers and customers shopping for the look for less. The collection was mostly in black, but it didn t feel dark or brooding. A silver beaded tank dress with metallic lace ruffling at the neckline looked like a good time. And for something more dramatic but just as youthful, there was an Edwardian white lace blouse tucked into a strapless black lace gown with crinoline skirts. Dinnigan usually emerges for her bow arm in arm with a couple of models, but this time, in a new smaller venue, she walked out alone—she must ve known she d got it right.
