Oh, Biba, you never went away. That famed London store, full of seventies boho joie de vivre and the vision of founder Barbara Hulanicki, was a palace of stripes and glitter, and long coats and long hippy dresses, but also glitter, sheer glamor. It was a true dressing-up box and treasure trove, all in one.

Jonathan Saunders, chief creative officer for DVF, has bought the spirit of Biba back to roaring life with this wonderful collection, and of course Biba and Diane von Fürstenberg, the label's founder (who is married to Barry Diller, chairman of IAC, the Daily Beast's parent company), share a fashion sweet-spot. It is to Saunders' credit that he balances producing something original, but also in tandem with the spirit of von Fürstenberg, who was there at the show on Sunday in a black outfit with silvery pattern.

The last collection Saunders designed for DVF shared some of the grace notes of boho chic, but was more conservative than the more overt and fun game of dress-up here.

The models' outfits spanned a creative and colorful rainbow: a short camel jacket was paired with a tasseled and layered yellow dress. There were more tassels and fringing elsewhere, including a sober blue dress. There was a bright orange jumpsuit, flowery dresses, high-heeled boots, cork shoes, geometric prints, an off-the-shoulder black dress with colorful detail, a black jacket with green furry collar. It was another dressing-up box; an exhalation of Biba-streaked joie de vivre, and very welcome.

Tracy Reese is a designer beloved by many women and for good reason. Her feminine sophisticated clothes are made not just for the runway or celebrities but for many types of ladies, of all ages and body types.

This fashion week her presentation at Pier 59 was themed around the idea of individual beauty. Speaking about the inspiration of the show the designer told the Daily Beast, “There’s not just one standard for beauty.”

The models were a refreshing mix of different ages, sizes and ethnicities, and the clothes took a backseat to the models themselves, who while draped in the new collection spoke--in a multitude of languages-- off the cuff about what they loved about themselves.Read more at:wedding dresses online | wedding dresses sydney
