The It Factor for Denver: Bensoni designers Benjamin Channing Clyburn and Sonia Yoon deliver some fun, flirty frocks, as well as a few killer maxi looks, for the spring season. Standouts include a tiered and ruffled mini dress in acid yellow and a maxi dress with a striped chiffon skirt and a feather-printed wrap top.

The Gist of It:  Pattern mixing is the theme here, and everything from classic stripes to feather prints are included in the mash-up. Throw in a few jolts of acid yellow, pink, and orange, and you have a vivid spring show. The most successful looks play with mixing patterns and scale, but the designers keep things from going overboard by sticking with the same color family—as with a variegated black-and-white striped maxi dress.
