Joanna Mastroianni Spring 2013

This collection of hot house flowers, sexy cocktail dreses, blooming prints and bright colors was not for the shy girl.  Joanna Mastroianni's customer is not a woman who takes no for an answer and demands attention. 

The sexiness factor might balance on the edge of taste if not worn well, bringing to mind successful trophy wives and clever mistresses.  If you have the attitude to flaunt it, these are the clothes to do it in.

I'm really glad this attractive collection was notable on its own merit, rather than the press generated by a front row guest passing away during a show a season earlier.
