Always upbeat, Enrico Coveri did not allow this grim news to affect his vision of spring which is lime! Opting for a green catwalk, the color was also seen in different declinations on the clothes and the accessories making the show refreshing and uplifting.

The theme is a lush garden after days of rain, when sunshine is just starting to peek in. What used to be a manicured space had become wild as new leaves sprouted and flower buds erupting.

Dresses are cut short, and proposed as sleeveless with a deep-V or deep rounded necklines. Hot pants are a must and they also double as beach wear.

Optimistic and fresh, Enrico Coveri sees a bright Spring 2010.
