I CALL IT THE TULIP EFFECT. As soon as spring finally

pops out in D.C., my fashion cravings suddenly switch from

the most serious of black dresses to hot hues and floral

motifs — the brighter the better. It’s an urge I see echoed at

warm-weather bashes and on the streets of downtown, as

exuberant cocktail dresses in botanic

shades and trench coats in cheerful

stripes burst into bloom, vanquishing

the neutrals of winter.

Lucky for me, designers also went

on an effervescent color and pattern

binge this spring, with shipshape nau-

tical stripes, garden-party florals and

edgy abstracts blossoming on dresses,

shoes and even bags. We captured this

ready-for-summer trend in our cover

story, shot on location at National Har-

bor in Princes George’s County, Md.

In this issue, we also dive into the worlds of two of the

country’s hottest designers: Michael Kors, who opened two

new stores here in recent months, and Phillip Lim, whose

sporty-yet-sweet clothes fly off the racks at local retailers.

You’ll also get an eyeful of the party scene with our coverage of well-dressed pets and their

stylish owners at Fashion for Paws. And for our regular foray into the philosophical side of

fashion, writer Cathy Alter examines the dance between shoppers and boutique owners.

Like every issue of FW, this one should inspire you to soak up the stores, sights and scenes

of this chic capital city. Working on it sparked my own spring must-have list, which includes

a pretty flowered frock, a dramatic gold cuff, some nude wedges and — to keep that

whole garden groove going — a sunny straw bag. I hope to see you

around town indulging in some similarly uplifting styles.

the season’s hip happenings and hot items

Yves Saint Laurent and his pug were recently spotted in the dining room at the Hotel Sofitel (806 15th st. nw; 202-730-

8800) where Karl Lagerfeld also glow-ered from behind the concierge desk. No, the Francophile hotel hasn’t been sucked into an ultra-stylish dream world; it’s hosting the photography exhibit “Fash-ion Stills” through June 13. Thirty-five runway-centric shots by photographers including Derek Hudson, Jean-Ma-rie Périer and Gérard Uféras (shown,

chanel 2003 haute couture show) deck the walls of the sleek downtown property, with Hudson’s image of a cig-sucking Kate Moss overseeing the Le Bar cocktail lounge and Cathleen Naundorf’s surrealist photos of Jean Paul Gaultier madonnas gracing the Ici Urban Bistro. You can buy any of the works through Polkagalerie.com, or just drink them in while sipping a flight of (what else?) champagne at the swanky bar.

new addition

A Shirt ChangeWhen it comes to style, men face a sartorial conundrum: Stick to classics and risk looking as dull as every other suit

in the room; go stylish and get dismissed as a foppish dandy or indie rocker. New Georgetown-based online shirt company Hugh & Crye (hughandcrye.com) offers a middle ground, pairing cool, throwback details — sharp spread

collars, punchy plaids and stripes — with Italian fabrics and an inventive slim-fit system designed to take unflatter-ing fullness out of button-downs. But while the line’s debut collection, which includes 11 different styles, priced $65 to $115, boasts fashionable flair, it deliberately steers clear of any flamboyancy. “We ask, ‘Can you see Sinatra wear-

ing that?’” says co-founder Pranav Vora of the brand’s retro, Rat Pack influence. “If the answer is no, it doesn’t go.”

The Spanish inspire desire with practical, beauti-ful designs (see: Manolo Blahnik, Balenciaga, even low-price, high-style temple Zara). Now, top Madrid fashion house Adolfo Dominguez (pictured) has set up a rich, wood-accented shop in The Shops of Wis-consin Place (5310 western ave., chevy chase; 301-

880-7288), bringing with it well-priced, work-appro-pos sheaths, floaty dresses and sleek men’s suits.

Down in Georgetown, Jaclyn Mason is no stranger to the local shopping scene: She’s a longtime resi-dent and the sister to former Wink boutique co-owner Lauren. Now, the D.C. native unveils her new jewelry and accessories shop Charm (2910 m st. nw;

202-298-0420) in early May. The high-gloss store-front bursts with baubles from Alexis Bittar’s big bangles to Paula Mendoza’s chunky cocktail rings.

Why is D.C. a good spot for your styles?Women in Washington want to look great and feel current, but they still understand investment and looking appropriate. Because of government and politics, they walk a tightrope. My clothes represent that blending of classic and trendy.

Walk into any Hill hearing or G-town bash, and you’ll spot women clad in Michael Kors. The sportswear king,

already popular here, makes a bigger footprint this spring by opening Michael Kors Lifestyle stores at the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and Tysons Corner Center and, by fall, a shop-in-shop at Neiman Marcus at Mazza Gal-

lerie. He chatted about his invasion. jennifer barger

The Kors ScoreThe über-American designer and

‘Project Runway’ judge conquers D.C.

The first lady is one of your D.C. fans, right?Michelle Obama is the kind of woman I think about when I design, the jugglers who have a lot of things going on in their lives, but still want to look great.

Has the economic downturn effected your design process?When the economy is in a tougher state, I’m more self-critical. I look at designs in a pragmat-ic way. Styles have got to

be glamorous and new. But at the same time, how many ways can you wear that dress? Can it change seasons or go straight to a cocktail party? That sort of sporty glamour is important to me.

Did “Project Runway” change the way we look at fashion?Before “Runway,” people thought clothes magically appeared in stores or on your back. It’s given peo-ple a greater appreciation for design talent.

Some women would rather spend money on shoes than four-star restaurants. At least that’s the mes-

sage conveyed by a glass table set with a banquet of Chie Mihara wedges, Tashkent by Cheyenne booties and Cavage python flats (shown, $750) at

Muleh (1831 14th st. nw; 202-667-3440). The Logan Circle fash-furniture boutique just stuck its sexy

heel in the door of the footwear biz this season with culty labels like Argila and Coclico to go with its Vivienne Westwood- and Ports 1961-

heavy stash of clothing. “It was time for us to have cool-looking, wearable shoes to compliment our

fashions,” says co-owner Vici Subiyanto. Another new player in the below-the-ankle game: D.C.-

based Simply Soles, which opened a new shop in an earthy space in Georgetown Park (3222 m street

nw; 1-800-909-3679). Well-priced brands range from owner Kassie Rempel’s Lillybee hot-hued peep-

toes to bow-decked Tibi stilettos ($345).

, which took its time arriving this spring, usually inspires one of two actions in Washingtonians. The first is an over-whelming desire, in this zone of riotious daffodils and emerald green trees, to stop and smell (or plant) the flowers. The other, though somewhat at odds with the first, is to pack your valise and head out of town to some exotic clime — never mind that the local parks and waterfronts (like the one at National Harbor, where we shot this story) beckon so invitingly.

For designers, these disparate hot-month fantasies seemed to merge into one trend: the triumphant arrival of a fleet of prints. This bouquet of flirty flo-rals, African batiks and plucky stripes cruised onto everything from cropped jackets to cool cocktail dresses. “This season, prints just popped,” says Ali-cia McCaslin of Alexandria’s Hysteria (125 S. Fairfax St.; 703-548-1615), who filled her boutique’s racks with vivid party frocks by Jodi Arnold (see page 3), airy, wood-blocked tunics from Roberta Freymann and striped jersey minis by Minnie Mortimer. “After such a gray winter — both with the weather and the economy — people are scarfing up big, bright patterned pieces. They’re instant mood-boosters.”

Of course, such mod motifs also make sense for breezy getaways, whether your destination is as far-flung as Morocco or as nearby as National Harbor, a walkable enclave on the Potomac River just south of the city. The site’s busy marina and beachy vibe lent a relaxed backdrop to the season’s mix of breezy, bold styles. “Once the sun comes out, we all want to find those pieces that make you feel like you’re escaping to somewhere exotic,” says McCaslin. “Even if you have no plans to go any farther than your own backyard.” betsy low ther

Counter Intelligent?The relationship between shoppers and salespeople can be as complex as a romance

WHEN I WALKED INTO Boutique X&O* (name changed to protect the snarky) a year ago, it was lust at first shop. The booty-boosting Citizen jeans! The drapey Martin Grant dresses! But though X&O and I went on several expensive, um, “dates” (with me making eyes at McQ skirts or slinking into cash-mere sweaters), I broke things off, and not just due to my soaring Amex bill. One day, the owner mor-phed from a shop girl into a “Mean Girl,” dismissing my question about a $300 blouse with a shrug and a sneer. Feeling like a college kid snubbed at sorority rush, I sprinted out so fast, she probably thought I’d spotted Marc Jacobs across the road.

The dance between shoppers and clerks can be a complex tango. If you take a strong lead (“Why is this dress $600?”), you risk stepping on a retailer’s toes. If the salesperson cuts in and smothers you with attention (or makes you feel ignored), you might never step near their racks again. “I pay attention to their non-verbal communication,” says Gretchen Hitchner, owner of Bethesda’s Ginger (7114 Bethesda Lane; 301-664-9242). “Someone who spends her whole time on her cell doesn’t want to be bothered. But if she keeps

coming back to one item, I offer suggestions.”

Shopping for clothes is rooted in a desire to improve your appear-ance and mood, so the person fetching you a belt or telling you if a dress makes you look lumpy often determines wheth-er you go home elated or deflated. “My pet peeve? Salespeople who don’t know or care about what they sell,” says Marlene Hu Aldaba, owner of Hu’s Wear (2906 M St. NW; 202-343-2020). “When staffers have passion for

what they sell, you can feel it.” Ideally, the person behind the counter boasts a

clotheshorse-cum-cheerleader personality like that of my mother, Susan Alter, who has owned the store Artichoke in Connecticut since the 1970s. She credits its longevity to her knowledge of merch and clients. “I let customers think they’re in charge, when it’s the other way around,” she says. And while the adage suggests that the customer is always right, that’s not always true. My Mom showed a spine as stiff as a Dior crinoline once when she refused a shopper’s return of a frock reeking of Eau de Last Night’s Party.

And besides behaving like, ahem, an adult (no tossing discarded jeans in a heap on the dressing room floor), it also helps if browsers listen to the folks behind the counter instead of assuming that “Can I help you?” translates as “Are you stealing that?” “Often, we know which certain designers cut clothes for specific body types,” says Hitchner.

Letting a clerk in on your likes, dislikes or gripes about your thighs helps them serve you better and ele-vates the retail experience to something like friend-ship, especially at small stores. “Boutique owners cher-ish customers because they can’t rely on foot traffic to bring in business like big stores can,” says Freeman Hall, author of “Retail Hell” ($23, Adams).

Getting in good with store folk might even net you a superhero for fashion emergencies. “I once got a pan-icked phone call from a customer who had snagged the zipper of her dress as she walked into an event,” recalls Fabiana Zelaya, owner of Daisy Too (4940 St. Elmo Ave., Bethesda; 301-656-2280). “I closed the store, threw dresses in the car, drove downtown to the reception and met her in the bathroom. She tried them on until she found one that fit.” CATHY ALTER

The Lim CrowdWomen from D.C. to Tokyo can’t get enough of Chinese-American designer Phillip Lim’s feminine, fuss-free clothesWHEN PHILLIP LIM LAUNCHED his eponymous line in 2004, he snared the fashion indus-try’s short attention span with what seemed like a novel concept: unstuffy, understated clothes that were well-made yet didn’t cost a fortune. Now, 3.1 Phillip Lim (the number represents his age, 31, when the brand launched) is synonymous with detailed-yet-downplayed pieces — flirty tiered skirts, silvery sequined frocks, buttery leather totes — and has expanded to include men’s, women’s and kid’s clothes, with a new lingerie collection added this spring and shoes due to arrive in fall. The New York designer — a favorite locally at retailers like Muleh and Barneys Co-op — sat down for a rare chat. BETSY LOW THER

How would you describe your line?I define my signature style as “classic with a sense of madness.” Usually with my designs, what you don’t see is what you get. The design details are inherent: things like unusual fabrics, struc-ture, handwork and fit that you might not even notice in the item right away, but will discover as you wear it.

Yet your spring col-lection includes some very complex dress-es (above, front). Was that intentional? I’m always pushing myself to try something new. On a visit to an art gallery in New York, I became inspired by the abstract Cubism of Picasso’s late work, which inspired

these “collage” dresses. I like the idea of reworking lines, proportions and color in a new way. The technique was brought to the outside, quite literally. But they’re still dresses that you would wear, not something that would be perceived as being too precious.

Take us through a typical day in your life.I wake up in my SoHo apart-ment and usually walk to my office in the Garment Dis-trict. I make the rounds with my assistants, the atelier,

checking e-mails. From here on, it’s as it comes. Every day is different and often intense — nothing like what they teach you at school! My quiet, creative time comes late in the day, after everyone else has gone home. I might go to an industry event at night, but I’m actually an introvert. If left to my own devices, I’d rather be alone.

What’s the best part of your routine?The things I love the most are having coffee and spend-ing time with my French bulldog, Oliver, in the morn-

ing. A little caffeine and a little love. My other favor-ite hobby is a little embar-rassing; I love reality TV. “Real Housewives,” “Jersey Shore.” I watch it all.

Where do you find inspiration?I never know when it might come. I’m actually working on some new shapes now that I stole from a woman I passed one day on the street. I noticed how she used a rectangular piece of jersey to cover her shoulders and stay warm. It struck me as so simple and pragmatic, yet the result was so modern.

You’ve just addedlingerie to your brand and are introducing shoes this fall. What’s your favorite thing to design?Right now, it’s the shoes. They require the sa me precision and technique as dressmaking, but instead of draping, I sculpt. We’ll offer a complete shoe wardrobe, because I think that if you can’t do it right, then you shouldn’t do it. It’s just not fair to the customer. I’m a customer myself, and I’m always putting myself in that mindset.
