Like the first spring blossoms, several designers jumped the gun to present their latest Spring/Summer 2012 collection before New York Fashion Week official begins.
These early birds set the tone for the rest of the week…what a great start!
“Effortless urban cool” easily describes Jenni Kayne’s collection. With an understated approach, the mix of structured and breezy garments defines casual luxury at its best.
While Rachel Comey is known best for her footwear, the apparel collection demands equal attention for its slouchy, relaxed silhouettes. The sheer cable knit print is an ingenious trompe-l’œil, a trick of the eye.
Vena Cava switched it up this year with fun, feminine, and 40′s flirtatious looks. With signature halters and bold pops of color, these cheerful clothes will surely brighten your day.
Who says 90′s rock goddesses are gone? Gary Graham crafted a modern, whimsical collection filled with layered slip dresses, sheer fabrics, and floral touches.
Steven Alan is known for minimalist preppy looks and this collection is no different. From soft pastel colors to the easygoing gamine…it’s the perfect choice for roaming the French countryside or your neighborhood market.
