My How She's Grown: Doo.Ri Fall 2009

I've been following Doo.Ri since September of 2005 and it's really stunning to see how far she's come in less than 4 years; the former lead designer for Geoffrey Beene and CFDA-Swarovski Perry Ellis Award winner has already launched a bridge line, Under.Ligne, featuring T-shirts and her signature jersey dresses. I really have to say, however, how utterly sublime her Fall 2009 showing was. It really and truly encapsulated the mood and trends of the season in a totally cohesive and fluid collection of looks.

Detailed tights, picking up on the printed legging trend, and lusciously draped jersey in a robust shade of this season's violet.

Cascading iridescent vinyl fabric with bead detailing.

Sheer, diaphanous detailing on the sleeves and torso- another emerging trend for fall.

Balmain-inspired shoulder play, and more detailed tights. Who could ask for more?

Doo.Ri deserves every ounce of praise and plaudit that comes her way this season; what a fabulous collection. We're all looking forward to seeing your work for Spring 2010.
