Although I am not usually one to be drawn toward bright colors or prints of any kind, I cannot help but fall in love with the Alice + Olivia Spring 2012 collection. Sure, I would never be able to pull any of these pieces off, but a girl can dream.
With pieces like wide, super-flared leg floral pants and a Grecian-style, coral-hued maxi dress, this is one collection that editors and fans alike will be talking about during New York Fashion Week.
The Alice + Olivia Spring 2012 collection also features a ton of huge, floppy, wide-brimmed hats in a variety of shades that are just begging to be taken on a cruise to the South of France. While the handful of mod, 60s-inspired monochromatic dresses near the beginning of the show creates a nebulous feel regarding which direction the Alice + Olivia Spring 2012 collection is meant to go in, the bright retro theme is definitely more prominent.
