Like Porter Grey and Jason Wu's collections for New York Fashion Week Spring 2012, the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 presentation was full of candy colored hues and soft pastel shades.
These delicately shaded ensembles are a welcome change from the bold colors of the tribal and color blocking trends of last season. Perfect for spring, the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 collection was full of baby pinks, powder blues and soft canary yellows.
"I wanted it to look like a dream, a fantasy, a fairy tale," designer Jill Stuart told Style.com. In classic Jill Stuart fashion, the always prominent scallop hemlines were still present, as were delicate slip dresses, and on-trend prints such as palm trees, polka dots and birds.
Girly-girls will surely swoon over the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 collection.
