Dennis Basso Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall 2009 The Tents at Bryant Park February 17, 2009 Written by Jenaya Singleton Photographed by Katherin Wermke

It was a fur lovers paradise at the Dennis Basso Fall '09 show. The collection was filled with sophisticated classics with a modern edge. The coats were spectacular and were surprisingly wearable. It was easy to see how amazing they would be paired with a gown or a pair of jeans. What was even more appealing was that the collection was fit for various ages. It wouldn't make a twenty something look as though she's playing dress up in her grandmother's closet or make mom look as though she's trying to recapture her youth.

While the dresses were kind of blah, the cigarette pants with their piping detail were not to be missed and the pockets added just the right amount of cool. Fur hats, statement belts and biker gloves finished off the looks perfectly.
