In what is becoming something of a calling card for her young brand, Samantha Pleet debuted her Spring 2009 collection "Season of Wonders" on Tuesday night with a video presentation. The eerie, disorienting video directed by Tom Hines and set-designed by Pleet's husband Patrick Pleet, does well to portray the mood and movement Pleet's latest collection. For Spring 2009, Pleet looks again to history for inspiration. But this time it's more recent history. Clear references to the 1950s pin-up styles complete with voluminous hair-dos and busty tops, are complemented by a New York hipster vibe and Pleet's trademark historical/costume-y embellishments. Wonderous indeed.
