Power-hungry Catwoman---this is the female that Nina Ricci's RTW Fall 2009 collection was inspired by. All black ensembles of pants and jackets, broken apart by graphic inserts that came together in sharp angles--at the shoulders, wrists and waistline. Iconic details--shear drapes over pants, crystals embedded on one-legged pantsuits, chin-high double ruffle collars--made pieces less severe, but still bold. Corset bodice evening gowns (mainly in black with jolts of fuchsia, orange and turquoise) gave way to tiered 3D ruffles that went from hip to ankle.
