Fashion's favorite flanneled design duo Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra candidly returned to their roots this Spring 2010 – presenting a collection entirely composed of their celebrated and sought-after dresses. In pure and paradigmatic Costello form, the heart of the line hinged on regal drapes, structural folds, and exuberant hues – this season keeping the spirit fresh (with slickly understated Swarovski details), green (by utilizing an Earth-conscious method of printing fabrics without wasting water in collaboration with AirDye), and attainable (the two shoe styles June and Lula created in partnership with Loeffler Randall are available for pre-order). The boys intently focused on the entirety of each frock – rendering it just as compelling to study the models' garments as they approached as well as from behind – and marking a delicate balance both in silhouette and frills played up by prints forged by manipulating Jeffrey's digital lake and sunset photographs snapped around Brooklyn. Highlights of the well-edited 22 looks unveiled at Milk Studios include a freshly-flaxen Ali Stephens' tricolor moss/acid AirDye taffeta draped one-shoulder frock with seemly satin organza embroidery and Pernille Moeller's periwinkle AirDye lake print taffeta dress crowned by delicate origami jabot.
