Brand New Heavies

Voom’s Elephant Parade Collection

They say an elephant never forgets.

You, on the other hand, need the BlackBerry to remind you to shower. (And get out of bed in the first place.)

So before it slips your mind, jot down Voom, the Joy Han collection that’s both fun (bold prints, billowy sleeves) and feminine (flowy fabrics, empire waists).

Especially noteworthy is Elephant Parade, her latest line of silk dresses in brightly colored, abstract floral prints with elastic belts and oversize elephant buckles. There are tank-style minis for flirty moods and longer, three-quarter sleeve versions when the mod squad strikes.

In coming months, look sophisticated in lace prints, bohemian patchwork, and other animals (owls are still hanging tough). With every piece priced around $200, you’ll want one of each.

Better make some room in that trunk.
