It was all about the “golden twenties” for designer Gregor Clemens' LAC ET MEL Spring '09 collection. Show attendees grooved to
subtle soft beats from an era associated with glitz and glam. The collection dubbed Rue Cambon was inspired by Coco Chanel’s
catapult to the pinnacles of the international 1920s fashion scene. Clemens’ line is committed to eco-methods. Most striking about
this collection was the purple button detail methods. Most striking about this collection was the purple button detail on all the pieces
and his clever interpretation of classic looks with bursts of color.

forms were contradicted with modern variations in shape and size. One of the show-stopping pieces
was a tangerine silk plaited micro-mini dress equipped with large frontal pockets
