Sweet Tart

Who hasn’t at one time or another felt more naughty than nice? Or more sweet than sexy? While borrowing from styles of the last few decades, designers have created spring clothes for every woman and her alter ego. Donna Karan and Michael Leva, for instance, offer the angelic ingenue polka-dot suits and gingham jumpers prim enough for a double date. Dolce & Gabbana and Karl Lagerfeld are smitten with the five-alarm siren, whom they envision in spaghetti-strapped disco dresses and bikini-revealing slit skirts. As for any goody-two-shoes eyeing a pair of stiletto heels: Go ahead--take the plunge. You can always blame your evil twin.
