Fashion Ticker: Rebecca Taylor

With her spring 2009 collection, Rebecca Taylor lived up to her reputation for romantic, ultra-feminine clothes, sending out airy, ruffled tops and dresses that seemed to float on the models wearing them. The New Zealand-born Ms. Taylor, who has said she is fascinated by all things sparkly, added glitter to belts and shoulder bags trimmed with fringe; her dresses shimmered with sequins or beads. Khaki jodhpurs and blazers were matched with flowing tops, giving a preppy element to the predominantly bohemian theme. High-heeled perforated ankle boots finished many looks, while '60s-inspired slim headbands pulled low on the forehead were tied over long, flowing locks. The highlight of the collection was a metallic apple green chiffon dress with ties that crisscrossed like laces across the bodice.
