"  Inspired by the 1968 French movie, Mari\u00E9e \u00C9tait en Noir (The Bride Wore Black), Abigail Lorick&amp;#039;s fall 2009 collection parallels the heaviness women are feeling with the current state of the economy. The film follows Jeanne Moreau &amp;quot;through heartbreaking turmoil, but she manages to keep her poise and elegance,&amp;quot; says the designer. Opting for a runway show this go-round (spring 2009 was a presentation), Lorick says the collection will start off with a somber color scheme but, unlike the movie, transitions into an uplifting ambiance with a bright, warm fruit palette by the end. &amp;quot;This warm burst of color filters hope for the future and exposes the Lorick lady&amp;#039;s eternal optimism,&amp;quot; says the designer of her finale. Expect to see many of the same qualities that have become synonymous with the Lorick label, such as clean lines, structure, and a feminine feel. One thing that is certain to be a surprise though: a special guest. No more details are being divulged at this time, but check back for the full report after the show on February 13. \u2014Meredith Stebbins  Photo: Courtesy of Abigail Lorick "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
