The official fourth day of 2009 Spring New York Fashion Week opened (surprisingly on time) with a show from Twinkle by Wenlan. As the sun continues to shine in the American capital of style, Twinkle presented a gorgeous collection of feminine and playful styles similar to styles seen at Chloe. There was a '50's/'60's feel to the collection which compromised mainly of sun dresses and high waisted tailored shorts with the occasional pair of vintage style trousers.
Continuing the trend for body con, Twinkle made the style appeal to "real women" with tulip shaped skirts and fun oversized buttons. Androgynous touches came with suit jacket collars and silk short sleeved tuxedo jacket dresses.
There was a luxe loungewear feel to the latter half of the collection with loose fitting silk jumpsuits. Dressed up, these make the perfect day to partywear for the summer months. Dresses which were fitted at the front with draped panel detailing at the back surely proved to be the most flattering design.
Twinkle designs and creates clothes that women want to wear. They're seemingly simple yet careful pleats and folds reveal the complexities. Such fun wearability leaves me wondering why the label is not bigger in Europe. Watch the show here.
