Hibiscus Tailoring at Stella McCartney

Hibiscus Tailoring at Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney, RST12, New York.

The recent Stella McCartney Resort collection for 2012 contains a vibrant mix of beautiful tailored details and vibrant holidays prints. Palm tree brooches adorn neat blazers, while long length dresses and oversize tops and skirts provide the perfect canvas for symmetrical hibiscus scenes, ocean prints, and bold beach chair stripes. 

The two sides to the collection play off each other well – the archetypal holiday prints appear more grown up in the context of the elegant and modest shapes, and the tailoring is artfully cropped at the wrist and ankle to give it an air of nonchalance.
