Fall 2009 Fashion Coterie

By Eva Victoria Roberts

The Helene m. gals are fresh from Fall 2009 Fashion Coterie, and we are THRILLED about what we saw. Yes, we know that everyone is so excited for spring, but when you see the items that we selected for our stores, you will want to pre-order away…

What stood out this year were the statement coats.

Every designer was doing a sleek wool knee length jacket in bright colors, or neutrals with amazing detailing, like the belted ruffle from DVF, or the fitted exposed zipper in grey from Shoshanna. Tibi did an amazing fuchsia pink ruffle front jacket, that we are positive will fly out of our stores faster than we can display it on a mannequin.

Alice and Olivia have an unbeleivable red military inspired swing coat that is to DIE for…

As far as ready to wear goes, winter florals, bright peacock colors, and ladylike shapes prevailed. Check out these pics, and try not to get too excited for fall….remember spring is STILL on its way!!!!

Our selection of designers continues to grow at Hélène m! In Portland alone we have four new designers scheduled to hit the sales floor at any moment. (Stay tuned!) And given the state of the economy we have been tightly editing our choices more than ever, bringing you the very best from each. This has already been pleasantly affecting your closet as you continue to find just the right thing in our shops. We emphasize that your clothes should fit and flatter, and work with your lifestyle. Hélène m. gals truly care about helping you navigate through the fashion world as it applies to your location on the map. Our stores are filling with fabulous new finds on a weekly basis! Come in and visit your local Hélène m. to see what’s happening. As always, you will find us excited to see you and ready at hand for that fashion fix all of you style mavens crave so much!
