“This week we’ll finish up features on the latest color stories spotted overseas in Paris, Milan and London – from separates to accessories, we’ll have photos to inspire upcoming purchases or to encourage new looks created with items already in your wardrobe.”

A ‘SUMMER SATURATED’ STORY FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

“Summer darks taken from batik, ikat and other ethnic fabrics round out the summer palette punctuated with crisp white to bright accents. Consider space dye to tie dye and flame stitches to exotic paisley and geometric looks in richly-colored combinations. Try mossy to military greens mixed with dynamic teal and turquoise to warm combinations mixing magentas and burnt orange to violet and brown. This inky palette is ideal in jersey to cotton-poplin and straw to leather accessories.”

WHITE CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

“ White head to toe is still one of the most mesmerizing and timeless choices for warm weather dressing. This season we love white with touches of khaki, pistachio, coral or luggage brown. We also believe in mixing white textures and types of fabrics for a more dimensional approach to white summer dressing. Consider white for day into evening and casual to dressed up – a great option for those who prefer to shelve the black in anticipation of cooler weather.”

YELLOW CLOTHING FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2012

“Yellow leads the spring/summer charge on all fashion fronts. Fashionable yellows range from vibrant lemon and chrome to diffused citrus and pastel tones. Spicy yellows from mustard and cumin offer an exotic twist while lemondrop and butter reinforce the importance of feminine dressing for the season. Head to toe or mixed with khaki, ivory or white, yellow will inspire refreshingly fabulous fashion for warm weather dressing.”
