Pulling on next season's warmth

It's time to turn away from this winter's grays and welcome the summer's warmth.

Four leading fashion brands -- EQ:IQ, Joan & David, Anne Klein and Pringle of Scotland -- on Thursday presented a fashion show together to explore their creative yearnings for 2009.

The Joan & David spring/summer 2009 collection has a stylish look, smart and sophisticated. It is feminine and romantic with a city-chic edge. The return to tailoring extends from fall/winter but heavy lace and tweed makes it a perfect transition to spring 2009. Urban safari, Oriental and Victorian white themes reflect the runway trends this season.
