Bursts of bubblegum, grape and lemon are infused with graphic black and white stripes to create Alice + Olivia’s unabashedly bold Resort 2012 collection. This season we get a glimpse into Barbie’s enviable closet, complete with a rainbow of plastic jewelry, statement shades, stacked platform sandals, floppy hats, and patent leather belts—and that’s just the accessories!
Color blocking rules supreme here, intermixed with splashes of polka-dots and shibori chiffon. Sequined styles (an A + O signature) manage to be the most subtle pieces of this daywear collection, while offering an easy transition from sundeck to dinner.
Each season, Alice + Olivia’s Stacey Bendet becomes more refined in her thematic focus, but the most brilliant aspect of this compilation is the comfort and wearability of these mix-and-match pieces—the draped knits and floating silhouettes are ideal for the cruise-going gal. As long as she’s not afraid of neon hues, A + O’s youthful feminine woman will adore her playful choices. Aqua shorts, a halter jumpsuit and a striped romper will bring out her inner Malibu Beach Barbie, even in the heart of winter.
