San Francisco Fashion Week 2009

Kirribilla was one of my favorite collections at San Francisco Fashion Week. One may argue it was one colorful dress after another but we all know I am a dress junkie! The young label was founded in 2005 by three best friends whose goal was to make every girl feel like the prettiest one in the room. With design studios in San Fran and London, this was their third collection, and boy was it pretty! With tropical music calming the room, the Spring/Summer collection was inspired by old time Hawaii. You will notice fine tailoring with an aloha twist. Flattering day and cocktail dresses in a sunset of colors flirted with the crowd but what really caught my eye were the details like coconut buttons, floral-inspired sleeves and cascading ruffles. All reminiscent of the Big Isle, this green and purple frock was a favorite - isn't it so very Zac Posen on a Hawaiian vacay
