Vera Wang has positioned her Lavender Label collection to be as recession-proof as possible. When the designer mentioned prices at the informal presentation she held in her 39th Street showroom on Friday, there were shrieks of joy from the assembled buyers. "It's a bit of mod mixed with medieval, and everything can be mixed and matched," Wang added. Key pieces included a blazer and an armorlike top made from a foam-backed, techno-quilted jersey, and embroidered satin tabards that were more King Street than King Arthur. A new footwear line that includes biker-inspired ankle boots with harnesses and oiled leather brogues, among other options, likewise offers high-end detail and construction at a very friendly price point.

Does Vera Wang secretly yearn to run away and join a gang? For her Lavender Label collection, the designer offered up a sophisticated take on street urchin style. This translated into some serious layering of organza slips and logo tees, shorter hemlines, and bold details like studs and oversize grommets, the latter used to strong effect in a neat take on the eyelet blouse. Accessories were similarly tough, from an extra-wide square-link belt to a tangled chain pendant necklace. Wang carried over silhouettes from seasons past, including Peter Pan collars, prim skirts, and easy silk tank dresses, but in an updated neutral palette of beige, black, and white. Now in its fourth season, Vera Wang Lavender Label has steadily grown into an attention-worthy entry in an otherwise crowded contemporary market.

The cozy, old-world atmosphere of Bobo, a town house restaurant in the West Village, was a fitting setting for Vera Wang's first-ever runway show for her lower-priced Lavender Label collection. There was more than a hint of the fifties and sixties in a nubby tweed skirtsuit with a fur shawl collar, a satin-front/knit-back skimmy belted sheath, and a cable-knit cardigan that topped a brocade blouse and a narrow three-quarter-length skirt. Antique pearl necklaces, gamine berets, and long braids added to the classic, almost retro mood of the clothes, which—if not bursting with new ideas—were appealing and pretty. The most modern-looking pieces took cues from the designer's signature collection. A long silk dress with a panel of net and paillettes down its front is a Wang trademark, as is the soft, togalike appeal of a gathered-waist gown that dipped low in the back to reveal a sexy swath of shoulder.
