New York, New York, December 2008—Everything may not be coming up roses on Wall Street these days, but posies were the perennial theme in the Spring 2009 Collection by W, the Worth Collection’s fun and hip clothing and accessories line.

"During difficult times, it’s the little things that remind us of our optimism," says Diane Manley, director of design at W by Worth, the luxury women’s ready-to-wear house. "Fresh-as-a-daisy floral prints. A playful little bubble mini-skirt. A simple, easy-to-wear asymmetrical top that ties at the shoulder just so. This season is all about letting fashion remind us to stay lighthearted and upbeat."
