Here’s a merry little assortment of spring wear that Fatima Lopes showed in Paris for the Spring 2009 show. Fatima Lopes, a Portuguese fashion designer, moved all her hemlines above the knee and used shiny fabric that would wrap a body in the presence of a breeze. The most prominent items of the collection were the strap-on hats and headbands that were paired with every outfit, including the bathing suits.

Most of the critics agreed that Fatima Lopes fashion makes her garments wearable, but that they still retain some energy for a confident, fashion-forward woman.
