Blue is the color of the winter, but pink and mustard are the colors of the spring according to The Elizabeth & James S/S 2012 collection. Co-designers Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen created a line that is modern and vibrant, as well as colorful and playful.
This line has everything to fashionably welcome the floral season. Instead of focusing so much on dresses and skirts like other designer houses, this brand found inspiration in wide-legged pants, shorts and blouses to develop a line that flows with the breeze. Colors like fuchsia, yellow and blue are combined with prints like strips and floral to give women an elegant, bold look.
The Elizabeth & James S/S 2012 line is designed for the contemporary woman who needs to project a strong, feminine image every day.
