FALL 2008 FOLEY + CORINNA CLOTHING COLLECTION

Drawing from inspiration taken straight from the romance of downtown, Foley + Corinna seduces us with the perfect blend of whimsical elegance and rugged extremes. Juxtaposing strong and soft, the creations in the Fall 2008 collection combine 1920s glamour and old world style with a modern edge serving as the perfect addition to every ‘it’ girl’s personal street style.

Glamour is embodied in intricate pleating and embroidery on cap sleeve dresses and tunics in ivory and black that recall the joie de vivre of the flapper era. Tiny antique pailettes shine like gems on the sleeves and as “necklaces” on full-sleeved tunics and mini dresses. An epaulette of beads take the place of a sleeve on silk twill cocktail dresses and jersey tops and tunics. Sequins seduce flirty tennis dresses and tops in black and ivory, perfect for a night on the town when paired with a distressed Victorian jacket.

Femininity and elegance are flaunted on cascading ruffled blouses and voile and lace dresses and tops. Lovely prints add movement to floral caftans with bold trim. Studded belt satin party dresses are bold and sexy yet demure in their classic lines.

Regimental details add edge to classic knits for Fall. Short and long sweater trenches in hues of black, cream, grey and army green feature gold double breasted buttons and patch pockets while leather piping trims the beautifully draped ponchos. Seductive double knit bodiced dresses stand out with stud detailing and soft cashmere tunics and dresses that hug the body in timeless argyle patterns.

Foley + Corinna clothing can be found nationwide at high end department stores and boutiques including Henri Bendel, Saks, Intermix and ShopBop.com as well as Foley + Corinna retail stores in New York and LA.
