Kate Spade New York Spring/Summer 2016.

Fri. 09/11/2015.






Kate Spade's Creative Director Deborah Lloyd was unabashedly taken with flowers for the Spring 2015 season and the results were an unequivocal success. The collection Lloyd presented, even though awash in floral prints, was mainly executed in Navy, Black and White with sprightly shots of colour and a refreshing amount of Beige to keep the fantasy grounded in reality. Where there was a hint of Coral Pink and a few washed out pastels, the main colour focus was on a fresh, yet not eye-wateringly vibrant shade of Daisy Yellow that was also translated, in the last act of the looks into daisy prints. 

A particular standout was a Sequined stripe dress and pair of shorts that paired Snow White with Zingy Tropical colours and shined more for the happiness of the shades used, more so than the sequins could ever embody. Those plated sequins showed up on Black and White stripes as well and were equally enticing. Pretty in Pink floral prints in both Pink and a Black/White, were writ oversized and attention getting, and both versions were garden ready, while a stylized Daisy Lace in Spectator Black and White added dimension and texture as well as a good bit of whimsy and throwback kitsch. 

While the collection had a Fun, Flirty and Fresh vibe, there was something innately Lady-like about the entire showing that was mouthwateringly delicious and welcome. It was sophisticated, but not in the least bit stuffy or uptight, there was a relaxed Joie de Vivre that permeated each and every look and translated into smile-inducing outfits that not only had remarkable ease, but also immense charm. Lloyd truly was totally on point here and it showed, effortlessly so! 





That's All.
