Milly Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Spring 2010 The Tents at Bryant Park September 16, 2009 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Cindy Ord

Milly's Michelle Smith left her usual spectrum of bright colors to design from a palette of black for spring of 2010. The pieces were both simple and opulent with beading details on the jackets and belts plus heavy junky jewelry as accents pieces.

The black silk cocktail dresses were simply knockouts. Also of note in the collection were the sharp short sleeved jackets, items that can be mixed and matched with all the other garments in the line.

And Milly being Milly, there were a few brightly printed rompers just in case the Milly girl needs to head south.
