Erdem Surreal Romance from London Fashion Week Spring 2009 ...

Soft, hyper-romantic, easy but a bit surreal at the same time – that's exactly how Erdem Moralioglu **described his **London Fashion Week Spring 2009 collection.

"I've got all these images of seventies theater productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Eton boys wearing flowers in their boaters," the designer said backstage – and what an inspiration that was!

From the prettily designed French lace creations to the flower-printed bodice to frilled embroideries – Erdem's take on the trends which will dominate the fashion scene next year is simply breathtaking.
Sarah Mower of Style.com described this number as a "tiered ice-blue lace Edwardiana dress with an orange ribbon clashingly threaded through it" – and it's a glimpse of the exquisite items which followed.
Spring is synonymous with the budding of flowers – and this orange **flower-printed ensembl**e has a flirty skirt and a solid-lined top.
This stunner of a dress is a combination of frilly laces and a structured skirt.
This orange dress reminds me of a scrumptious tiered cake – complete with edible flowers as the icing – it's deliciously fab!
The huge flower on the shoulder of the pale blue jacket is so "**Sex and the City**" – while the tiered, slim lace gown is just breathtakingly romantic!
Feel like a modern day flower princess in this dress with gorgeous spring colors.
I think that this lovely green color will match any skin tone – and the overall design of the dress is uniquely perfect.
Seems like designer Erdem Moralioglu likes to play with color – as evidenced by this colorful and flowy maxi dress.
This is another version of the Erdem Moralioglu maxi dress – only it has a belted waist, a ruffled top and the colors are more defined.
This off-shoulder short dress can be dressed up or dressed down for casual day or formal evening wear.
This Erdem dress has a solid, structured silhouette and feminine colors.
The theme of his runway show is the best way to describe this frilly dress – it's surreal romance at its best!
The way that the bottom part of this dress is something that we've seen a lot of in the NY Fashion Week runway shows – the effect is just stunning!
Do you think that the Hollywood celebs will carry this Erdem look to the red carpet?
This dress is a combination of a flower-like top and a tiered skirt – all in a delicious shade of sugar pink!
The 'sack dress' is given a flowery and spring-like twist with this dress – which has an exquisite detailing on the neckline and extended material at the back.
Who says you can't be a fairy tale princess when you're well into your 30's? Steal the show at a red carpet event that you'll attend in this beautiful Erdem gown.
Feel ultra-feminine in this long, **flowing dress **with a frilled detailing on the sleeves.
To cap it all off, we have this romantic white **gown with flower **detailing on the sculptured hemline – and the design on the upper part of the gown is endearingly delicate.
To describe the general look of the runway show, here's what Sarah Mower had to say:

They made for a spellbinding show by an exceptional talent whose self-taught standards of workmanship almost put his creations on an equal footing with some of the things seen in haute couture."
I couldn't agree more!

My name is Kevin and many years now photographed many top fashion design brands, at the moment working and living in China. I saw this collection and thought how exciting the colour's also the designs, but when it came down to the models on the catwalk! it let the whole collection down... (How sad is this what the market whants now? A dull sadness!)
