Australian Label TV Goes Big for Winter '09

By Nicole Schlomann

While you might not be able to travel "down under" this holiday season, you can still escape the dreary winter days via red hot looks from Aussie label TV. The Fall/Winter '09 preview collection, created by Melbourne-based designers Monika Tywanek and Ingrid Verner, is chock full of winning pieces like loose, easy dresses, high-waisted trousers, and slouchy leopard-print cardigans and skirts. And who wouldn't be inspired by the styling, which combines grungy Justin Lacers with white lace tights and polished, draped goddess dresses? What seems like a '90s revival is in reality a surprisingly fresh look, so we're thinking this collection has something to offer for just about everyone's wardrobe, once fall rolls around again.

The TV line is available at American Rag, 150 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 935-3154. For more information, visit www.t-v.net.au
