The models floated confidently through the doors of Morgane Le Fay's newest retail location at the Malibu Country Mart and onto the lovely green lawn where editors, stylists, photographers and customers eagerly awaited the presentation of Spring 2010 this past Saturday, October 17. The collection is designed by Liliana Casabal who is currently designing costumes for the New York City Ballet under the direction of Peter Martins for Naive and Sentimental Music by John Adams, set to open at the Metropolitan Opera on November 24th.

The fashion show was inspired by an ancient Welsh myth of fairy queen Rhiannon who defied her family and gave up her divinity to marry a mortal prince for love. That inspiration was delivered in a variety of silk chiffons, organza, wool gauze, Japanese lace, organic cotton jersey and Italian stretch cotton and raincoat nylon. The colors of deep Algae, light Willow, Magenta and gentle Blossom mixed with Ivory, Black and Midnight created the designer's modern interpretation of the ancient spirit.

Stand outs were the Hummingbird dress of black, cut out four-ply silk worn over a silk slip, Angeles, a black double georgette dress with bare shoulder sleeves that can be worn multiple ways and Epona, an organza gown with an abstract applique of a horse. Japanese lace in white formed a billowy top worn over a dress in cotton knit with multiple skirt layers and the Aquarius, a dress with knit bodice and chiffon skirt with cardigan in blossom and white.

"I'm delighted to introduce Morgane Le Fay to the community of Malibu. I believe my collection fits the lifestyle, taste level and quality that they expect and I hope they will enjoy wearing my designs," says Casabal.
