Araks

NEW YORK, September 13, 2009

"This is my favorite collection so far. It's the most me," said Araks Yeramyan in the charming environs of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen Library, where she showed a dozen winsome Spring looks.

"I'd live in those pants," she remarked, indicating the rainbow-heather athletic pair she said had been inspired by a woman she spied on the street one day who was very dressed-up on top—but in sweatpants below. The lingerie turned ready-to-wear designer delights in that kind of scatterbrained quirkiness. Other off-kilter moments included an asymmetrical pleated floral-print dress and a paneled navy number made of different fabrics and worn over the thinnest imaginable linen jersey sailor top. This was a very day-centric collection—a patterned, beaded bolero with organza trim was the fanciest piece—and we're sure that its unstudied wearability will feel very "me" to very many women.
