Spring Market 2009 Sneak Peeks: French Hatbox by Tanya Whelan

Though Tanya Whelan‘s collections are more traditional than what I normally cover here on True Up, I do greatly appreciate her beautiful, spare, bold take on vintage floral motifs. Her newest collection for Freespirit is the French Hatbox, which will show in Pittsburgh. I love the description:

Fresh, candy colors both saturated and pastel make for a modern take on 19th century French inspired designs. Think Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. Sweet and unabashedly feminine this collection is well, pretty as a French hatbox.
