Peep Erin Fetherston’s So-Sweet Spring Confections (& Meet The Designer!)

There's nothing quite like meeting the face behind the name when it comes to our favorite brands, and Erin Fetherston hovers somewhere near the top of that must-meet list, if you ask us. Her signature white-blonde blunt cut has placed her in the covetable-locks category for life, and we're of course smitten with her ultra-femme style. Lucky for Fetherston fans, the designing woman herself will be in town next Saturday to debut her spring '12 collection, and we can't wait to see the '60s-inspired wares in person.

The Mia Farrow-inspired silhouettes and minimalist separates were among our absolute favorites when they debuted at New York Fashion Week this past fall. There's a colorblocked mod mini and a flowy butterfly-print shift that echo Rosemary's Baby; frilly, festive party dresses that Fetherston says will make you want to "cha-cha-cha"; and tailored tops with graphic patterns and peek-a-boo lace detailing. Oh, and a sweet polka-dot number, elegant sequined shorts, and the most perfect plain-white cocktail dress we've ever seen. It's not often you get to shop a stunning collection and meet the genius behind it, so don't forget to pencil in this event — and click through for a sneak peek of our favorite looks.

When: Saturday, March 3, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Where: Neiman Marcus, Tysons Galleria, 2255 International Drive, McLean; 703-761-160.
