The Felipe Oliveira Baptista Spring 2012 collection was described by the designer as being inspired by freedom, which was clearly depicted in the show. The models strutted down the runway with seemingly not a care in the world, with their hair covering their faces in a very Carine Roitfeld way; not to mention the flowing, soft clothing that Baptista designed for his Spring collection.
The Felipe Oliveira Baptista Spring 2012 collection comes right after the designer's debut collection at Lacoste, so expectations were high. The designer described the collection to Style.com as "[b]ody-conscious, but nonchalant," which is actually a great way to describe the covert sexiness in the line.
Zippers adorned most pieces in the Felipe Oliveira Baptista Spring 2012 collection, adding a touch of edginess to a soft, flowing collection.
