Noni Tochterman's Fall 2004 collection for Petro Zillia was a mouthwatering menu of vibrant color and delectable style. Noni's daywear featuring delicious wool A-line skirts, appetizing multi-color mohair sweater capes, yummy herringbone vests and luscious plaid cropped jackets debuted

as the "main course." Following were the eccentric Israeli designer's trademark bright hued crocheted dresses and candy-sweet flowing print chiffon blouses, starring as "desert."

Mrs. Tochterman told Fashionlines that she was inspired "by the jazz era-but not so much the flapper dresses and men's pinstripe suits" when creating her polished yet fun line. Indeed Noni's well tailored, flirty, vivacious creations evoke a sense of nostalgia for the glitzy panache of the late 20's and early 30's.

Noni's clothes are just right for brightening up the cold, dark days of autumn. Infuse joie de vivre into your wardrobe by opting for flamboyantly sexy clothes in enchanting colors such as sherbet, pistachio, watermelon, vanilla and pecan. How about a mint and berries striped knit dress or a rose-print silk ruffle little number with a key lime trim? Fashionlines urges you top indulge your senses.
