MORE IS MORE
When fashion is inspired by Morocco, get ready for bursts of color, a myriad of textures, and whimsical details all over
For Spring 2017, Kate Spade New York heads to Morocco, drawing inspiration from dusky desert landscapes, the pattern play of candle-lit lanterns, rose petals, the sensory overload of souks, and the oasis of calm in the majorelle gardens. Throughout the collection, textured fabrics, eyelets, pompoms, appliqué roses, and ruffles sit against softly flowing and feminine silhouettes. More is more.
When it comes to handbags, a structured and chic purse debuts as the new go-to bag, while wicker monkeys and camels come to life, accented with tassels, fringe, and beading. Fresh new shapes and classic favorites in striking seasonal colors round out the collection with a surprise appearance by elegant embellished straw totes.
The Cameron Street Little Babe-bag, which comes in crosshatched leather, is lightweight, is scratch-proof, and wipes clean. It
also has the sweetest silhouette: part throwback lady bag with elbow hold handles and an adjustable shoulder strap; part modern masterpiece with clean lines and a roomier-than-you’d-think interior.
The Hayes Street Small Isobel-hand bag has you covered on both fronts: it’s a classic satchel in textured pebbled leather, all tied up with a tassel-ended bow. Pretty and practical, it also offers an adjustable cross-body strap and a zipped center divider (plus a range of rich hues).
For shoes, striking colors, tassels, and stitching accents are shown across a variety of silhouettes. Woven slides and flats are relaxed and effortless, while elegant lace-up heels are given an unexpected flare with the addition of color-coordinated tassels.
As a final touch, tiered tassel earrings make an effortless statement in a range of bold colors. From classic stud earrings to a glittering tassel pendant stunner, spring’s assortment runs the gamut from understated to overtly dazzling.
