If Audrey Hepburn wanted to give her iconic wardrobe a contemporary tweak, chances are she would take a little stroll after Breakfast at Tiffany’s to an Escada boutique.

Escada says its fall 2009 line exudes “strong femininity” and “modern effortlessness.”   But much like the Escada woman, these clothes don’t need someone else to speak for them.  This collection speaks for itself in breath-taking black silhouettes that inspire awe and capture the imagination like the Icon Americana herself.  Classic greys and purples greet with reserved elegance.  Fuchsias play with bold charm.  Lace and pastels speak with self-assuredness, ensuring all are aware of her presence.

All without saying a word.
