Think: Exotic
We know you’re dreaming of warmer weather: sunscreen, tan lines, flip-flops – the works. Meet the Spring 2018 collection, here to melt the chill of winter with rich colors and transport you to a steamy paradise with hot new silhouettes. Inspired by the ancient beauty of Morocco and the Middle East, let the mystical new colors of Never Say Never transport you to crystalline coastlines and sweeping deserts, or get whisked away to a vibrant new world with sensual new collections like Rosie and Baya.
Picture it:
You’re walking through a bustling outdoor marketplace. Everywhere you look there are brightly colored baskets, shelves packed with intricately woven fabrics and tapestries, and the glint of gold and silver as the Middle Eastern sun hit’s its peak. The smell of spices hangs throughout the air with huge drums of sumac, cumin, and cardamom dotting the marketplace with browns, yellows, and reds, interspersed with the beautiful handmade wares of local artisans. It’s noisy, it’s busy, it’s beautiful. An oasis of diversity in both culture and tradition, Spring 2018 immerses you in this exotic environment and it’s vibrant colors, channeling the experience into a seasonal palette with rich pinks, blues, and oranges.
The ancient beauty of architectural structures like columns, arches, and tile heavily influenced the motifs and patterns for this season’s prints and laces. Collections like Sweet Treats Star and Myah feature textured fabrics and laces to capture the elaborate geometric designs that decorate palaces and mosques, combining new colors and textures together in one garment allows for a trend-forward look that’s more unique and item-driven. Sheer mesh and netting designed into graphic, sporty shapes round out the collection and give a more active-inspired option. A special Natural Pastels collection uses softer colors which were inspired by desert plants, clay, sand, and the setting of the sun.
