You can count on Julie Haus for pretty dresses, but for spring, her collection had a more relaxed vibe, with separates such as casual shorts and a plaid coat worn over a loose T and skirt that was a perfect blend of slouchy and structured.

Geren Ford, inspired by trips to Sydney, Buenos Aires and Italys Isle of Capri, stayed true to the West Coast vibe of her flowy separates silk Ts, billowy shorts but punched up the collection with pops of color (bright blue, orange) and hardware, like the metal rivets running down an adorable teal shift dress.

Thuy Pham and Miho Aoki took their preppy chic to the beach, and a delicate cotton blouse tucked into slouchy navy-and-white striped pants was pitch-perfect, though heavily embellished necklines and Boca-esque jacquards were unsuccessful.

It may be a diffusion collection, but Vivienne Westwood Red Label must be a red-hot seller if the gargantuan venue she chose to show her latest collection is anything to go by. The show took place at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, the same locale where Giorgio Armani staged his grand-scale One Night Only show and party exactly two years ago. On Thursday night, the doyenne of British fashion sent a troop of Bedouin-style babes down a slick black runway against a backdrop of a rising red sun. Westwood incorporated elements of mens tailoring in light wool fabrics into the collection, alongside fresh shirtdresses in stripped or checked cotton, some with Arabian hoods. Gold lamé was worked into cropped biker jackets and harem pants, while shiny metallic stretch fabric made for slinky fitted dresses. Prints reminiscent of Kilim carpets appeared in knitwear. All in all, the collection was easy and wearable.

How appropriate for Gossip Girls Leighton Meester to be sitting front row at Jason Wu as the young designer turned out a collection of polished, ladylike looks inspired by a business trip to Japan, where he fell in love with the energy of Tokyo. It came through in saturated color, from a delicate fuchsia knit T to a rainbow of frocks. Known for his eveningwear, Wu did not disappoint, with an array of beautiful, easy gowns that were young and fresh, and sexy sheath dresses with French knots created by hand. Moving his collection forward, Wu ventured into sportswear with cashmere knits, unstructured jackets and shorts all rendered with his sophisticated hand.

The designer wowed her audience by tossing aside any niche notion of what Lela Rose is all about. She has eclipsed her rather prim party clothes with what one might call quirky sportswear. Dressed-up sporty? Certainly. And still hip enough to be perfect for those young ladies who lunch in the Meatpacking District. They would love her effortless mixes: thigh-high organza peplum skirts with offbeat printed tanks; perfectly cut cotton tweed shorts with a silk faille track jacket. The designers slightly hippie edge think ikat, dip-dyeing and beads, all polished to a high shine of sophistication makes this her best collection ever. The ease is evident, too, in her latest flirty signature dresses, among them the patch-embroidered cotton, drop-waist tank version and abstract plaid T-shirt shapes, which all reflect Roses newfound freedom.

Creative director Jerry Tam focused his lineup on desert-chic separates in muted tones. The labels signature architectural aesthetic was evident in sculptural shirts and wraps, but softened into elegantly draped shapes as opposed to hard geometry a fresh look that Tam attributed to his collaboration with Tara Subkoff.

Patrick Robinson is staying positive. Its about this wonderful, new, fresh American optimism thats in the air, said Robinson of his presentation for the Gap, which drew a packed house, including unlikely Gap girl Carolina Herrera. Then again, Robinson stressed sophistication of the laid back sort for his superfresh lineup. So should Mrs. Herrera find herself in a dress-down mood come spring, perhaps a pair of smart silk khakis rolled at the ankle or a boyfriend blazer in chambray and jersey will strike her fancy.

David Neville and Marcus Wainwright worked a British working-class theme that felt repetitive and at times lacked personality, but punkish elements such as zipper-trimmed jackets and clamdiggers, or a floral sheath with wide leather insets, added edge to their staple suitings.
