The Project Runway Leanne collection is a beautiful mix of tropical turquoise and sandy beige hues.
The Project Runway Leanne spring/summer 2009 collection was designed by Leanne Marshall, the winning contestant on the Heidi Klum hosted reality show.
The FIDM San Francisco graduate debuted the Project Runway Leanne line at Fashion Week, an incredible honor for any budding designer.
The collection is evidently feminine and looks highly influenced by the colors of a Caribbean seaside, with the vibrant turquoise of the sea balanced by the soft shades of seashell-like whites and delicate sandy tones. The palette was perfectly complimentary to the overall femininity of the Project Runway Leanne look, an overall wearable collection.
