If ever there was a collection made especially for a contemporary June Cleaver, this one was it. On the first day of TFW, Kimberly Newport-Mimran, the creative director of Pink Tartan, presented her Spring 2009 season with a range of looks channeling 50's glamour with plenty of "Mad Men" references to boot. The small collection took off with plenty of pin-up girl-approved bathers which later in the show were presented in longer versions worn as tops. A staple 50's silhouette, the floral print A-line skirt, made several appearances on this runway. A bright coral high-waist bubble skirt paired with a simple white turtleneck tank added a much-needed modern-twist to this collection (afterall, there were some of us in the audience under the age of 40). Though a bit cliche for a 50's inspired show, the girls were styled in headscarves and large round sunnies, some carrying what looked to be Hermes Kelly and/or Birkin bags.
