Designer Jonathan Saunders graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2002 and has been showing and impressing in London for several seasons now. Considered one of the “It Brits” of the moment, Saunders creates colorful and whimsical frocks that flatter a woman’s physique and delight the eye! As Mr. Saunders reported to interviewer Nicole Phelps of Style.com, he sought to infuse the 34 looks in his SS09 collection with "Color… I wanted a bit of playfulness, something uplifting in these trying times." 
This, after a predominantly camel-colored Fall 2008 Collection, was a welcome sight!First image, at right: Vogue editorial. Runway coverage courtesy style.com. Dresses pictured at bottom of post available at net-a-porter.com.

I like his blazers, this adorable Lulu dress, and photo from Vogue, but most of everything I like dress from Spring 08 collection!

Oh, what fun colors and shapes!
Hi there-yes, lovely picks I do like the Waldair dress, very vibrant and stunning.
I think the last look is my favourite.
Loving that short dress for Target, with black tights and boots!
Have a lovely Monday, darling!
xoxo
this is a fabulous post! I love all of the designs....it somehow manages to be structured yet soft. amazing!
love all the color blocking!
especially # 1 & 3.

To be so young (in fashion designer years) he has such a clear, distinctive and innovative vision. He is amazing. His masterful use of prints is by far the best the industry has seen since Emilio Pucci. His collections always make me envious of womenswear lol. I hope he jumps into menswear.
I loved the tans of his Fall stuff, but the color is fabulous as well!! Maybe it's just me, but even though it's colorful it still feels kind of subdued and controlled, nothing wacky and frenzied about it.
Thanks for the intro to his hot young designer! I love his use of color blocking, it's all very modern and so fun!
Humm... Isn't that style very "30's" like?? Is it something to do with the world economy? ;) Lovely line, very geometric, and the colors, colorful, yet sober..
Hey, Carrie, why don't you do a post about hair and make up tendences? I am curious now... ;))
LoL
what a lovely collection, so in love with that 3rd dress! :)
I love these! He's just so talented! Great post!

Great color combinations. I love him as well.
I love that tone of blue and the way he uses it. Definitely think that first dress after the camel one is the bomb.
wow, the colors are electric!
Love the second to last dress. Also love the blazer on the last dress. All outfits are amazing. Great post.
XOXO

Thanks for the link to your make up post, Carrie!
And, as I suspected, it is indeed, very much like the 30's style, even the make up. Is it or is it no? Those eyebown, the shadows, the make up, marking the geometry of the face. Lovely. Very sober and "atrevido".
oh i LOVE the third dress! all these looks remind me of a lake or something...so pretty :)
xx bel
i'm loving that little mix of blue with the rest. oh if only my wallet could handle this
Love his Spring 09 collection!!
xx
PS: his Fall 09 collection for Pollini is also amazing, have you seen it??
i love the spring 09 collection!!
I love him and his peculiar soft-and-sharp touch.
I've adored that 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier crosses Casse-Noisette ' collection from last season. Really, it's SO inspiring, and the color and contrasts between the materials were perfect.
Amazing post !
me too, me too! I remember an editorial of his work once and I immediately fell in love. The tailoring and color combos are just exquisite!!
gorgeous. love the use of color in his collections. great post!
i really like all of the colors, especially the last picture you put up with the blue jacket and white skirt! classy!
All lovely pieces, but I think I like the Morgan gown best.
I love his collections
I absolutely love that first picture. If only I looked that chic and put-together when walking down the aisles. :)
Yes, great use of color! Love the Spring 09 collection!
He is SO fantastic! The colours in the Spring 09 collection were so delightful :) And that collab dress with Target is so beautiful.
I'd never heard of him before. I do like his use of colour. But does he do anything in all black?;-)
i love all the color! :)
Interesting and lovely pieces, like WendyB the use of colour is great
xoxo
And now I love him too! Thanks, CC x
I love the third picture, the one with the part-white dress and the last picture the frock with the blue/golden blazer. Amazing use of color!
such gorgeous lines, they are so flattering!
oooo love these! xo
i really love that first dress in the 2008 collection! great color blocking! :D
love him too, amazing collections especially his blazers and cuts!!!
xoxo
I haven't really seen to much of his designs to date, but I really like his use of colour in this new collection :) xx
So many of these have a almost perfectly flattering silhouette. And the colors! Gorgeous.
Oh myy those dresses are just to dye for!

Cheers from Seattle,

I love his use of shapes and color.
Oh, I'm a smitten kitten over the Spring 2009 pieces... and the Lulu kaleidoscopic silk frock is way too fabulous for words!

hi cc,
yeah, i agree that jonathan saunders who will be one of the next big things. i'm not normally a fan of the colorblock technique but his work is seamless and he does it differently than most. very clean, avant-garde yet wearable. great post!
thanks for dropping by my blog by the way!
love always

He uses such great color, textures and designs! It's perfect for spring and going out!
oooh i like this, thanks
I am so sorry for not commenting for so long!
Love the colours he uses!
I love the very first look. The blue sleeves are really cool. The closest I've ever gotten to owning Jonathan Saunders was a Jonathan Saunders for Target skirt, but I didn't buy it in the end.
i love the use of color. i don't have a piece yet but you are tempting me.
He always uses the most stunning colours. He's not one of my favourite designers but I do love his work.
Ahhh, Anika loves Jonathan Saunders too. Esp. Spring 09! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Hope you're having a blast bella :)
These are great. I love them. He's got a wonderful eye for color.
SOS! loves JS too!
xx-LJ from SOS!
Wow amazing colour combination! Love it:)
JS is now available at Target? Woo hoo.....this means I will actually be able to indulged ..
I can't seem to like the olive colored satin-y elements mixed with the black, blue, and white. Other than that, the designs themselves are quite chic and well though out by Mr. Saunders! We <3
