Esprit: Men's and Women's Collections Spring 2009

#8232;Casual yet put together—that was the look of the Esprit Spring ’09 collection, which was showcased on the runway at the Aug. 25–27 run of the MAGIC Marketplace in Las Vegas.

The collection epitomized the Germany- and Hong Kong–based company’s Northern California roots with its breezy, street-smart yet classic sportswear look. Styles ranged from everyday basics to dressier ensembles with a touch of sophistication. Esprit die-hards can go from the weekend to the office with the diverse collection of hoodies and checked shorts, feminine floral-print dresses, and trench coats and trouser ensembles. —N.
