McCartney Spring 12
Bold prints, graphic patterns, rich embroideries, textures and vibrant colors.
Tailoring is updated with a new silhouette in a crombie jacket with a notched lapel, a cropped cigarette French cuff trouser and blouses with three dimensional bow embroidery in a palette of black with chalk or Tokyo blue with tobacco. A cropped wide leg trouser in goldern syrup yellow paired with a chalk and black top with flattened bow detailing plays on color blocking.
A play on hounds tooth jacquard in black and white and tonal in separates paired with crisp shirting with heavy stitched embroidered palm tree details peeking out in pops of color or mélange striped organic knits. Seersucker in navy and white or cherry and white are paired with chunky knits and mixed with a play of stripes.
An explosion of print and color comes in the form of a vibrant deck chair stripe and a mirrored hand painted Hawaiian print. Simple and clean shapes with exaggerated proportions including rounded shoulder capes with slashed arm holes, tunic slash back tops, three quarter length skirts, shorts and a buttoned up all-in-one.
Evening is graphic in black and white; wooden beaded hibiscus embroidery on a white gently tailored three quarter length dress with a bow high waist, a minimal white tailored all-in-one with a woven cotton wool bottom and simple viscose crepe top and a white silk dress boldly stamped with three dimensional bow embroidery.
Shoes are neutral including a minimal flat patent pointed toe loafer with a white rubber heel in black and nude, a patent court shoe with lucite cylinder heel in black, nude and terre de sienne and a silk satin bow shoe pump with a jewel studded lucite heel.
Bags feature a contrast from classic in a black faux leather front flap bag with a brass lock closure and chain detail, graphic in a wooden and brass box clutch and modern in a lucite florescent pink box clutch and a yellow python print box clutch with lucite closure. Brass palm tree and hibiscus brooches echo the Hawaiian print in the collection.
