Thanks so much for posting Shirleebee, i love Nanettes clothes, their a little quirky but always flattering and wearable, I see a lot of pieces i want, great trousers and that little plaid cocktail dress with the mesh black top in #3!

OMG, I LURVE it! I wasn't too happy with her FW 07/08 line but these things look great!

Absolutely hated this collection, so tacky.

This is so much better than last fall.The suits and skirts in this collection are great. I love Nanette's clothes - they are so feminine and they fit me like a glove.

For some reason, as cute and well made as it is, I can't bring myself to love the first half. However, I am pretty crazy about the latter half- incredibly cute stuff there.

aaw this is so cute. it finally looks like a collection that is well put together, interesting, kept to a theme... i like it a lot.

 

[Girlfriend1]

yeah it is a bit "tacky" though haha. but i think it is nanette lepore style, right?

I dont think its tacky at all , its sad people always dismiss lesser known designers , when in reality they come up with better collections .

Word.
And Miss Lepore is becoming extremely successful, as it turns out. Her clothes are always impeccably constructed yet approachable. I see her as a DVF for the 18-34 set (even though I wear DVF, too). Her pieces are really versatile, and tbh, the Da Vinci pencil skirt (SS08, I believe?) is the best of its kind from ANY DESIGNER this entire year. So kudos to Nanette.

Exactly , her dresses and pants are beatifully cut ,I own a couple pieces . Nanette knows her customers , which are girls in 18-34 set and she knows how to meet their demands.

Nice but you could get most of these garments at your local high street

Clothes of such quality are really hard to find around my place [the middle of effing nowhere].

Lovely collection

I have actually purchased Nanette Lepore clothes in the past I simply think this line is not up to par with previous collections -- she seems to be trying way to hard IMO. The plaid/pintstripe suits are absolutely ridiculous
