Magic has never really done it for you. Dating a supermodel was the only awe-inspiring feat David Copperfield ever managed. And living in a tank of water for a week is hardly imaginative.
Prepare to be surprised by Valentine’s new spring collection, Magic Show.
Simple fabrics and easy silhouettes give the illusion of youthfulness with a dose of grown-up elegance. Nico, a black-pleated mini with a Peter Pan collar, transforms you into a Hepburn in a snap. Flattering Maple culottes in red with white buttons will reconfigure your attitude about shorts. And Apple, a ruffled bib-front frock, is so charming you’ll want all your other clothes to disappear.
Everything is so wearable and flattering you’ll look adorable no matter what you choose.
No smoke and mirrors necessary.
Available at Circle Boutique, 1608 17th Street NW, between Corcoran and Q Streets (202-518-2212). To see styles, go to valentineleung.net.
