Devoted to creating dresses that flatter every woman, David Meister’s F/W 2010 collection exudes appeal, rich with texture and diverse shapes. His day frocks embody the menswear-for-women aesthetic, comprised of knit and tweed with surprising details on the simple and classic designs. The Bergdorf Signature line is more formal in function and appearance, taking a ball gown shape glammed up with silver accents and fitted bodices that give any woman seductive curves. His evening looks consist of asymmetrical cocktail dresses and strapless gowns. David Meister takes comfort into consideration when creating the collection and, accordingly, his looks are 90% stretch and knit. His affinity for origami pleating pervades the overall aesthetic, interspersed with A-line frocks, liquid-like sequins and lightweight animal prints. Shop his designs here.

Fashion is Booming

Edited by Fashion Pulse Daily

Style cares not about the economy, so we continue on, falling in love with a fabulous pairs of shoes, lbd, and the perfect little cardie. New boutiques, designers, ideas, and innovative, avant garde concepts continue to emerge, and we can't help but start a new love story with our latest DIY project, amazing vintage find, department store score, or simply a fabulous floral umbrella. And so, as the title suggests, fashion is booming, creativity is soaring, and we can take a big exhale and shove our worries aside – it's time to allow ourselves to get excited about wearing some new or all-time favorite spring-weather garments and accessories.
As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs!
[Note from Jennine] Oh, and if you're looking for something to do this summer… IFB is looking for interns!
