WHAT WE THOUGHT: With a live performance and original score by soulful John Forte setting the scene for her Spring 2010 collection, Lepore delivered luxe vacation-wear that seemed perfect attire for late-night dancing on the beach.
She opened her show with a short parade of vintage-style high-waist bikinis and proper one-pieces in neon coral and a vibrant floral pattern, thanks to a collaboration with Manhattan Beachwear.
The rest of the presentation followed that cute, ladylike beat with numerous summer cocktail dresses (many built around a sweet wrap-around 'apron skirt' silhouette). Also included were easy empire-waist evening dresses with flowing ruffles and volume, all in a pretty springtime palette of raspberry, tangerine, twig, moss, and watermelon accented by metallics.
