Fave Looks: Alice + Olivia Sp13

1.21.2013

Walking into the Alice + Olivia Spring 13 collection was like walking into a set of Miami Vice for me. But actually the Designer Stacey Bendet behind the A+O collection was inspired by optimism and prosperous decade of the late 50’s. She looked into work by Artist Llya Botolowsky, who studied under the Artist Piet Mondrian. Where he adopted the use of vertical and geometric pattern into his work as well as the high use of primary colors mixed with more muted and pastel colors. The A+O collection had an explosion of primary colors that filled the room, along with sweet pastels. A sequin yellow dress, cobalt blue and red prints along with grass green lace and shimmery soft pastels. My eye was drawn to the tiny Lucite clutches filled with colorful candies to really make a statement of color. I fell in love with a little cardigan with a pop art face on it of a heavily mascara eye and big bright red lips.
