For the normally uptight, sophisticated designer, the Anne Valerie Hash Spring 2010 collection was a departure from her tried-and-true forte in more ways than one.
Instead of the regular mass of six-inch high heels adorning the models' feet, the Anne Valerie Hash Spring 2010 line saw models tramping down the runway decked out in organza-wrapped high-tops, one of the many elements the designer used in an attempt to bring her elegant and sophisticate edge to streetwear couture.
