Vera Wang: Poiret Party People (Fashion Wire Daily)

New York –
Vera Wang titled her Spring 2010 collection "Partying with Poiret," referring to early twentieth century French designer Paul Poiret, who emancipated women from constrictive undergarments with loosely draped dresses and pants. "Poiret, not literally, but in my heart, like the way he partied all the time and he loved to throw parties," said Wang after the show in her bright white boutique in downtown New York on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
