nyfw: charlotte ronson - spring 2010.

I have a confession to make. I've been sleeping on Charlotte Ronson. Partly, because she's been associated with Lindsey Lohan and I just don't entertain that hot mess, but most of it has to do with the fact that I've been underestimating her skills and ability for a long time. Not really sure if it has anything to do with her creations for Mom Jeans Inc aka JCPenney, which to me looks like a collection Catholic school girls would wear to mass not necessarily on a regular day.

Alas I have been silenced by Charlotte Ronson's Spring 2010 collection, a feat that is damn near impossible to achieve. The collection is fun, flirty, feminine, flowery, and any other F word you can think of that's a synonym for fabulous (fancy?). In my opinion the clothing, although sometimes a bit sheer, was completely wearable. Even the shoulder padded tops were bearable. Ronson's even managed to take a staple item (guaranteed to be in everyone's closet this fall), like biker shorts, and revamp them with tulle. [style.com]
