The Alice Ritter Spring 2010 collection has taken traditional French fashion and modernized it. Ritter states that for her Spring collection, she was inspired many things including "ethnic, urban safari and the early 90s."
One element from this collection that jumped out at me was the chic use of horizontal stripes. Although I don’t think this is a particular look that I could pull off, the rest of the Alice Ritter Spring 2010 line is comfortable and still very French.
