Thieves Spring 08 Collection

It's difficult to imagine springtime while in the midst of a cold, dark winter, but after drooling over the Thieves Spring collection, the sun seems to be coming out early. I've always appreciated the label's delicate balance of urban flavor and feminine wearability, but this season, i think they've out done themselves. They are successfully playing with the high waisted silhouette in unconventional ways through empire waisted tanks, high waisted skirts and dresses with ruching. The delicate graphics that grace a few pieces are not overpowering and then a few stand outs, like the jacket below, provide impact. Their clothes are made from a variety of fabrics including soy, bamboo, lyocell, wool, and tencel.
