Anna Larson's Spring 2010 Debut Erro Collection Sticks to Shades of Gray, But Is Hardly Boring

fashionologie — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:54:24 PDT

>> Housed within the confines of the small Ohio Theater tonight were models on boxes, sporting Doc Martens and Anna Larson's debut Erro collection. Larson's target girl is a "modern nomad," and she embodies Erro, which means "stray" in Latin, through easy-to-wear, layerable pieces in white and shades of gray.

Bliss Lau contributed jewelry and her leather treatment skills to the Spring 2010 collection - the lambskin was crocheted, hand-distressed, and perforated; former Eventide designer and current stylist Christian Stroble consulted and styled; and Alexandra Richards was hidden above the crowd in the back, mixing the soundtrack. The pieces were visibly made of high-quality materials - always good for first impressions from a new designer - and the whole sensibility was mirrored by Larson herself, who was spotted chatting to Vogue's Mark Holgate sporting all black, goth-girl black hair, and heavy black eyeliner.

Erin Wasson Aims to Put the Chic Back in Skater Chick

>> It looks like Erin Wasson doesn't need to work with Alexander Wang anymore: She's got her own line to worry about. She's signed a three-year deal with skate and surf brand RVCA to produce Erin Wasson for RVCA, which is getting good reviews already — Opening Ceremony has already snapped up the Spring 2009 collection.

We're talking about the model who has a half-pipe in her backyard, so it's no surprise that she chose to do low-cut cotton tanks ($55), miniskirts, frayed denim cut-offs ($230), a silk button-down emblazoned with tiny thunderbolts, and a blazer with a zipper running up the back, all aimed at girls who skate. In fact, she straight up said: "I’m going to get my rocks off seeing girls in California skating around wearing my clothes more than I think I will seeing it in the fashion world."

As for the Low Luv-Bliss Lau jewelry controversy, Erin simply told WWD: “I have the utmost respect for Bliss Lau. I admire and appreciate what she has done for the jewelry industry.” Guess that's as good of an answer as we're going to get.
