Some of the critics called out Ports 1961 designer Tia Cibani for being “too literal” with her Fall 2009 collection, but after Slumdog Millionaire swept the Oscars this past Sunday, perhaps it’s fair to say that she was on to something?

I’ll admit that there were times when the show seemed off (did I catch Anna W. smirking a bit when the model, above, who really did seem a little green, tripped and struggled to walk in her long dress?), but the clothes, the fabrics especially, were truly gorgeous and at times otherworldly in a wonderful, almost regal way. I loved the long, loose wavy-haired braids the models wore, and the long cream gloves (with fuschia palms!) were a surprising foil to the neutrals that opened the collection.
