Confetti Confections

While the New Year's holiday has since past, one wouldn't know it by the shimmer and shine that blinded the crowds as the dresses made their way down the spring runways. From Balmain to Balenciaga, it was a parade of sequined confections that were neither boring nor breezy. Designers might not have been in on the secret when dreaming up their collections that hard economic times lay ahead, but the irony has us all grabbing for glamour. Perhaps these sizzling sensations give us a glimmer of hope that 2009 will have reason celebrate. Regardless, one thing is for certain, these dazzling dresses echo a party spirit and the perfect excuse to dress up, enjoy the warm weather, and party on well past midnight.
