Fall 2009 NYFW trends: Lean lines
Our bank accounts arent the only things getting squeezed. For fall, volume is out and thin is in with a new, body-conscious silhouette. That meant prim sheath and shift dresses at Jason Wu and Victoria Beckham, pencil skirts at DKNY, 80s throwback bandage and wrap dresses at Donna Karan and Narciso Rodriguez, and rocker-chic leather leggings at Derek Lam and Tory Burch. There was also a lean 1920s vibe to the long, sparkly tank dresses at Jason Wu and Vera Wang.
