The new portrait of a lady painted on the runways and at retail for Spring / Summer 2012 depicts a muse of many faces. She is frilly and feminine, bold and edgy, organic and innovative, provocative and practical... Spring into summer's looks to get you in the mood...
 |
| Chiaroscuro... Light into dark, dusky and cool, smoky-hued color ombrès into liquid shades with opal sheen and mother of pearl elements; sheers and lightweight silks drape and cloud creating mystery and intrigue with a hint in understated bright accents |
 |
| Natural Order... Organic born with elegance and rhythm in nature; earth, pebbles and sand circle with vines of elemental color in tones of tiger's eye, wood and limestone |
 |
| Teal & Tawny... Sun-kissed with baked shades of terracotta and malachite; turquoise, jade, cinnabar and smoky quartz create bold graphics and smooth layers of color with Palm Beach kitsch and cool attitude |
 |
| All That Jazz... Deco and the 20's, graphic and geometric in ebony and white; basic elements of style, jazzed in nouveau-retro with modern-edged craft detail adding textural dimension |
 |
| Verdigo... Citrine into all shades of green scope the eco feeling in pretty patterned pointelles, leaves, ikat and flora; hypnotic mixes of texture, pattern and craft interweave a primitive mood grown from nature |
 |
| White Out... Clean, crisp and tender; chalky cut-work in all categories are accompanied by embroidery and applique; sheer layers of fragile fabrics in styles with simplistic elegance are fresh and new in flurry shades of white |
 |
| Lacis... From Baroque to classic glam, lace cut in all forms and fabrics, from structured to sexy, and everything in between; filigreed, fancy and fun opened in neutral shades of bisque, bronze and black |
 |
| Posh Sport... Sophisticated tailoring and social elegance with vintage roots brought up to speed with upbeat whimsy; piped, prim and sporty with a lady-like sensibility, updated, balanced and proportioned oozing luxury |
 |
| Culture Club... Ethnic decoration and block print patterning with tribal boldness in organic textures; native looks with an urban edge and sophistication pulsate in bark, flax, raffia and Brazil nut |
 |
| Island Gypsy... Bohemian island hopper liberated in dip-dyes, tropical jacquard and motif; tangerine dreams in raffia, amber, pop beads and nesting accents create a cultural destination for get-away glamour |
Thanks for springing into summer fashion with me... xoxo-Sonya
