Label: Nicole Miller
Inspiration: This season Miller was inspired by Art Nouveau graphics and William Morris’ florals. The latter were reimagined as whirling prints on coral, sunflower yellow, and pale blue skirts, tops, and dresses.
Highlights: A sophisticated ensemble comprising a black pleated skirt paired with a long vest nipped at the waist; tie shoulder tops; sexy, lace-embroidered sheer mesh; and the perfect linen trench for the resort season. This collection has all of the on-trend elements for a complete du moment wardrobe.
Label: Kate Spade New York
Inspiration: Perky chic attire with a sense of humor.
Highlights: Punchy prints and just the right amount of embellishment on coats and lightweight dress jackets, plus floral dresses, a sleek lace number, and some must-have gold kitten-heel slingbacks. And it wouldn’t be Kate Spade New York without a dose of whimsy—a mustache clutch, a cross-body in the shape of a pink dinosaur, and a bunny bag that doubles as a muff are just a few of the cheeky accessories on hand this season.
