Capri, with its charming colors and lush nature, inspired Mark Badgley and James Mischka’s spring collection. Bright, happy tones, including vibrant oranges, yellows, aqua greens and coral reds recalled the atmosphere of the island, and its très chic allure was echoed in the sophisticated silhouettes. For spring, the designers expanded their offering of daywear pieces, which looked fresh and were infused with an effortless, easy elegance. A cotton tunic was trimmed with colorful tassels; a shirtdress cinched at the waist with a coordinating belt was layered over cigarette pants, while a poplin striped skirt featuring a sweet ribbon on the front was matched with a simple cotton T-shirt embellished with a floral application.
The sense of comfortable, relaxed-yet-chic sophistication was enhanced by the accessories, including festive, eye-catching earrings and silk-satin flat shoes.
