Keds Resort Clothing Collection Gives a Thumbs Up for Spring 2012

By Laura Medina

Coolers, fresh oysters, lamb meatballs, & Keds' classic sneakers.

Keds celebrated their second collaboration with Opening Ceremony for their second go-around for their expansion into apparel by toasting Spring with a New England-styled oyster roast at the hip but comforting Eveleigh restaurant on Sunset Boulevard.

Stephanie Brocoum, the Vice President of Marketing, modeling the snappy Bedford Stripe Varsity Blazer to dress up her basic black tank or tee and new closet staple, crisp white jeans.

Look closely-this scribe did-it is not your usual dots nor this season's trendy birds, but Keds' new Thumbs-Up print on dresses and sneakers.

Keds' witty twist on the Americana classic doesn't stop at the optimistic Thumbs-Up print.  They took their sneakers then dipped them in metallic finishes of cream, blue, and rose gold to sparkle for evening or the approaching White Parties in the Summer.

Do these recharged classics got you craving for more?  You can get the shimmering sneakers on http://www.keds.com/ right now.  As for the blazer and the Thumbs-Up Dress and the rest of their new Resort/Spring 2012 Collection, you will have to hold tight until April 25th when they hit the Opening Ceremony stores and online at http://www.keds.com/.
