After going to dozens of shows over the past seven days, many of the Spring 2008 collections have begun to look the same to me; same color tones, same silhouettes, same fabric choices.
However, this season, evening wear has been consistently original across the board. Flip through any magazine right now and you'll see that evening wear is ascendant. There is a trend shift right now towards dressing up (as women have obviously decided it's better to be a little overdressed than underdressed!). The runways have featured both brightly colored chiffons as attention-grabbers, as well as subtle nudes and pinks put the focus on the wearer. In evening-wear accessories, I've been seeing a lot more bling. Clutch purses are everywhere, and designers are doing lots of interesting things with gloves for Spring. So whether you like doing the bohemian long dress look, or enjoy getting all glammed up for a night out, there have been great evening wear pieces for everyone at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Here are some of my favorites.Photos: Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
