The Ryan Lo Spring/Summer '16 collection brought an overload of sweet attire to the London Fashion Week runway. This collection is an exaggerated line of 23 super adorable looks.
This lavish line features all kinds of sweet elements from the kawaii Harajuku style to showy decals for Valentine's. Trousers, dresses and a plethora of jersey socks are coated in fancy frills, while an excess of jewelry complements almost every look. The Hong Kong designer spared no lack of drama for this Ryan Lo Spring/Summer collection. There are heaps of loose knits and loads of pink within the mostly light color palette.
Though this collection was presented in London, the overall theme seems to pull from the innermost anime-obsessed parts of Japan.
