Last summer, we gave you a look at the Bassike Spring/Summer 2011 collection, and these just-released images of the lookbook for the line offer even more style inspiration.
Designers Mary Lou Ryan and Deb Sams kept the color-blocking phenomenon we've seen nearly every designer use this season to a minimum in the Bassike Spring/Summer 2011 collection, instead opting for outfits comprised of single shades, such as the all-red combination in the first image or the all-white, all-black or all-navy outfits in the photos that follow.
This Bassike lookbook shows how to rock a single preferred shade in style. My favorite piece in the photo set is the black shift dress in the eighth image; the model's retro sunglasses give the look an especially appealing aesthetic.

Trend Themes

2. Monochromatic Fashion - The focus on a single shade can disrupt the variety usually present in the fashion industry.
3. Single-tone Clothing Collections - Brands can release collections that focus on single tones and disrupt traditional multi-color options.
Industry Implications

2. Retail - Stores can disrupt traditional multi-colored clothes by providing more collections in single-tone clothing options.
3. Fashion Photography - Photographers can use the idea of minimal single shades as a new trend in fashion photography and disrupt traditional representation photography style.
