This bright and punchy photo set is the new Americana Manhasset Spring 2012 lookbook, which features top model Karlie Kloss and Simon Nessman. The vibrant lookbook is full of fresh energy, featuring bold and bright hues spanning the rainbow and chic outfits with a retro twist.
The Americana Manhasset Spring 2012 lookbook features styling, photography and production by Laspata/DeCaro, and it offers a kitschy and fun collection of images in which Kloss and Nessman make the perfect domestic couple -- one who owns a 1959 Ford Galazy Skyliner and goes on dates at the local drive-thru diner.
According to Charles DeCaro, the brand simply didn't want to be subtle this season, but instead run with a '50s theme "in a big, fun way, with a ton of kitschy props and a wink and a smile."
