In the Showroom: Nima Spring 2010

Since launching his namesake collection with Saks Fifth Avenue in the spring of 2007, Nima Taherzadeh has become known for elegantly detailed cocktail dresses and separates.

Since launching his namesake collection with Saks Fifth Avenue in the spring of 2007, Nima Taherzadeh has become known for elegantly detailed cocktail dresses and separates.

When we visited the designer in his showroom shortly after Nima's runway debut during New York Fashion Week, Taherzadeh was preparing for a trunk show tour across the U.S. He told us the spring 2010 collection was very much inspired by the underwater photographs of Howard Schatz—hence the acid-hued prints on a belted mini dress and high-waisted skirt, the fluid zipper detailing on cropped jackets, and a single row of soft ruffles on a satin trench coat. See the complete spring collection below.

Analysts Predict Good Things for American Eagle's Holiday Season

We can't be the only ones reconsidering our opinion of American Eagle. The mall staple has been improving upon its merchandise recently, bringing the chain once known for sweats and flannels into the present with well-priced skinny jeans, suede boots and motorcycle jackets.

WWD reported today that retail analysts predict good things for the upcoming holiday season due to their renewed emphasis on fashion and aggressive pricing. The chain has a special collection out to coincide with the all-important retail season — check out their designs below.

Lindsay Lohan

>> Ungaro to Reinstate Couture?

>> Ungaro to Reinstate Couture? —Lindsay Lohan gave an interview last week about her experience with Ungaro, in which she said she was "learning" and headed back to Paris to work on the next collection: “It’s already in January. I thought it was in March." The last comment left some wondering if it meant Ungaro's couture division, which was shuttered in 2004, might be reinstated — since Spring 2010 couture is shown in January — but Lohan was likely just referring to Ungaro's Pre-Fall 2010 collection — the brand's Pre-Fall 2009 collection was shown this past January.
