It’s Fashion Week in New York City, which means designers everywhere are showing off their upcoming Spring 2010 collections. This year, Polynesia makes a splash at Catherine Malandrino’s show. Her 2010 Spring RTW collection, aptly called “Nomads”, features pieces inspired by four different parts of the world, including the Samoans of Polynesia.

Here’s a gorgeous dress from the collection – you can see the Polynesian influence in the ocean-green color, organic ruffles and flowing, draped look. It looks like a great dress to wear to a wedding or party!
