Erin Fetherston's fairyland

If Becky Stark was hosting a Rapunzel-themed tea party on the banks of the strawberry river, then she’d do well to pick Erin Fetherston as her stylist. Despite an all-black, dare we say Goth start, Fetherston’s Fall/Winter 08 collection (called “Love Sprung”) packed no further punches because, let’s face it, princesses don’t wear boxing gloves. The remainder of the show was an ethereally pretty, uber-girly haze of flowing floral silks, empire-waisted velvets and shiny satins worn with tights, ballet flats and Alice bands. Hair was long and romantic, adorned with floral headdresses and strategically placed ringlets. After a few minutes in Fetherston’s Femme Fairyland I started longing for some flannel shirts and work boots just to balance things out, but this was a one-way trip down Fetherston’s rabbit hole.
The standout piece was a floral print, empire-waist dress that was short in the front and then flared in to a long train in the back, perfect for wearing when traversing a looking glass.













Anne Hathaway, attired in Fetherston, was seated front row with her Prince Charming. Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe was a pretty little Tinkerbell in a silvery, shimmery one-shouldered Featherston creation.
While this collection probably won’t be remembered as one of her most innovative, everyone who was in Fetherston’s tent that day is sure to smell of roses for weeks to come.
(Fetherston recently launched a limited edition collection for Target)
