Slips to Marimekko: "Why Do You Hate Us?!"

Aside from the two or five instances when a model's crotch viciously started devouring her dress, the Marimekko Spring/Summer 2011 Flower Market show was lovely in both form and content. The Finnish design house delivered a signature collection of simple, crisp cuts and bold, graphic prints, all of which looked especially good over proper foundation garments:

Gretchen's Post-PR Collection Even Worse Than Expected

It's like our worst sartorial nightmare: Free People's tragic 'hipster earth mother' and American Apparel's tragic 'hipster harlot' all rolled into one unfortunate chocha-disclosing mess. (Thank gawd for the expertly 'shopped butterfly and string flourishes!)

The Spring / Summer Socialite Dress

We here at Huzzah! Vintage love us some some polka dots, especially on a structured mini with hints of Kate Spade, but Peach's garment from last night's episode of Project Runway was redonculous, right?! The brown collar detail snaking its way down the model's back is obviously problematic, but we're actually more offended by the sweetheart halter. (If you insist on imagining a woman's bust resting on or near her clavicle, at least have a sense of humor about it!)

Obvious biases aside, we think the Lilly Pulitzer number on the right makes all the right spring/summer socialite moves. Accessorize with a white wine spritzer and an ever-so-slight air of superiority.
