i feel like Dennis deserves an award for "the epitome of spring" this season. its an insanely feminine collection (surprised i like it? lol). he compiles muted neutrals that contrast with splashes of watercolor palettes. rough looking snakeskin mixed with soft ruffles. lacy thigh highs and demure cocktail gowns. and of course...where would his collection be without dashes of fur? but the iridescent dresses combined with the floral patterns had to be my absolute favorite. i have to commend anyone who puts out a collection that is gorgeous, innovative and yet still WEARABLE for the everyday woman. three cheers for Dennis!
