NEW YORK, Sep 15, 2005/ FW/ --- A favorite of the social set from New York, Bal Harbour, Dallas, Chicago and Palm Beach, Luca Orlandi took inspiration from tropical islands, which are also the playground of the rich and famous.

Daywear consisted of sexy and easy-to-wear separates that will be at home on a cruise ship or exploring the island paradise of Hawaii or the Caribbean.

Cool and breezy tops that are either strapless or sporting spaghetti straps were paired with wide-legged pants or box pleated minis that just rise above the knees.

To ward off the cool spring nights, Luca Orlandi also sent cardigans and light jackets, approximating the conservative twin sets while keeping his signature style of sexiness in all his creations.

If you love the daywear, then you will certainly fall over the eveningwear. Shoulder baring cocktail dresses that emphasized both the shoulders and the waist came in solid sorbet colors while the printed ones echoed the islands’ kaleidoscope of colors.

Stand out includes the sleeveless, ankle-length chiffon gown with rays that started at the waist continuing towards the shoulders upwards and towards the hemline.

This collection will surely be a hit among Luca Orlandi’s Park Avenue clients here in New York and Highland Park devotees in Dallas.
