    Jil Sander's LBD for Autumn/Winter 2009

    Sifting through my favourites from the Autumn/Winter 2009 collections, I noticed a wee trend emerging: LBDs. OK, so LBDs aren't exactly "wee" or a "trend", since designers march out a new version of this modern classic every season. But LBDs seemed to be the flavour of the month this time around. Or maybe I just liked more black frocks than not. Anyway, here are my favourites:

    Lanvin1 Lanvin2

    Modern assymetrical '40s style with skinny belts at Lanvin.

    Bottega Veneta -Milan3 Bottega Veneta-Milan

    A modern take on the classic sheath at Bottega Veneta.
