Jill Stuart was my second favorite from the shows I’ve seen here. She didn’t do all pastels just like everyone else. Her palette is rust, apricot, nude, ivory and black, and everything has a glamorous luxe film noir feel to it. It definitely inspires me to kick up a notch all my 40s patterns.

Highlights:
- textured black brocade pencil skirts and sheath dresses
- cutout white plaid sheath dress
- textured lace: white with nude background, and black with nude background
- apricot, white, black, rust
- 1920s inspired head-dresses and silk charmeuse playsuits
- silk charmeuse bias gowns
- very interesting 7/8 length sleeves
- 20s inspired hair
- 40s inspired silk charmeuse playsuits (oooh!)
- 40s inspired flutter sleeves
- 50s inspired full skirts, caged skirts
Love the first dress – I would so wear that with a cute little cardigan or perhaps a fitted, waist length jean jacket on cool summer nights.

I really like how not everything Jill Stuart did was pastels, like most of Spring/Summer collections.
