This season, Max Azria shuns the usual soft pinks of spring and goes for something darker, much like the music of good-girl-gone-bad Lily Allen playing overhead. Models donned mid-length gray and blue chiffon dresses belted at the waist in shades of marigold, white, and brown. However, the predominant color was grey, ranging in hue from light to dark, while brighter shades slowly emerged in blooms of black and pink. Built for the sophisticated urbanite, the grimy uniform of spring in a city that chooses to keep it dark year round would probably fall flat on front-row attendees Ashlee Simpson and Ciara.
