WONDERLAND

This final vignette transports you to the graphic 80s where a bold black and white striped suit is shown with an ultra sexy white mini dress. Powerful neon yellow is surprisingly juxtaposed in a romantic tulle gown while remaining loud in a sexy tight gown with a slit up to there. Ornate beading comes into play with a black and white jumpsuit and matching cocktail dress with jacket.

CAREYES

Cross the Atlantic to Mexico where techniques such as hand-crochet and embroidered details represent eclectic global diversity and are featured heavily on a sexy short dress and crop-top, paired with a neon yellow pant. The rainbow silk gown will be a traveling Instagram favorite! Feminine details like ruffles are given a fiesta-inspired update in bright poppy, dark kelly, powder blue and with mixed prints. The alice + olivia take on sport is shown again on a floral printed hoodie and matching pant.

TOKYO

The colorful and playful world of Tokyo, where heavy embellishments and beading are shown in bright neons mixed with venus blue, mint and orchid on a mini dress, jacket and gown. Graphic prints and bold stripes are shown in a sexy jumpsuit and knit dress.

MARRAKESH

Take a trip a bit further south to Morocco where trellis prints and lace are given a modern twist with the season’s important trend of neon yellow accents. Pom-poms and embroidery make a statement on an updated shirtdress while feminine lace details are made modern with neon. Incredibly intricate beading in graphic patterns are show-stopping spring pieces!

PROVENCE

Head south to the coast where cornflower blue and white toile and tile prints inspire these romantic and whimsical pieces. A poodle print blouse is playfully shown with a feather skirt and juxtaposed under a classic French toile, made into one of the seasons must haves—the cropped printed hoodie. Long, flowing skirts are updated in mixed-engineered prints for breezy, spring nights.

PARIS

Join us at Café du Stace where the Parisian skyline inspires a ball gown skirt. Scarf prints, stripe details, and reversible jackets are the emphasized trends along with spring’s new handkerchief hems. Pops of neon give the models that certain je ne sais quoi.
