Valley of the Dolls: Dear Creatures’ S/S ’09 Lookbook

A collection inspired by Sharon Tate, Valley of the Dolls, and a pre-scalpel Priscilla Presley? Say no more. With her latest dreamy lookbook—awash in bouffants and bib-front sundresses—Dear Creatures designer Bianca Benitez revives '60s-era fashions with a punchy palette of mustard and berry plaids and Partridge Family-esque ethnic prints. The billowing, sleeveless Priscilla dress and soft plaid sundresses have that throw-on-and-go quality so well-suited for summer wardrobes. Rest assured, we'll be suiting up in the "Sharon" paper bag-waisted denim shorts, playful printed rompers, boho peasant blouses interwoven with metallic thread, and babydoll-style plaid Tennessee tanks at many a summer cookout. Barbiturates sold separately.
