Accessories designer Jessica Jensen makes a foray into dresses

Handbag designer Jessica Jensen held her Spring 2010 preview on Friday night at the Thrush Holmes Empire gallery on Toronto’s Queen St. West. Jensen displayed the collection alongside works by her artist husband, Joshua Jensen-Nagle and both explored the same theme: the calm after the storm.

Jensen’s collection of simply-shaped totes, clutches and satchels was crafted from basket-woven leather and wave-like panels in soft greys, seafoam, purples, citrus green and blush. At the show, they were displayed on the arms of mannequins dressed in the designer’s latest effort–six cotton sateen dresses that range from a dark-grey Bottega-esque asymmetrical cowl to a lilac drop-waist number with a single graphic ruffle down the front.
