The word hipster might be harder to use now because the lifestyle and fashion has become so mainstream, but it cannot be denied that the AFIA SS12 lookbook is filled with such looks. As a fun twist, they have been given a flirty flair that embraces the feminine spirit that many designers are exhibiting as of late.
The pieces showcased in the AFIA SS12 lookbook were inspired by the '80s South Beach street scene. Brooklyn designer Meghan Sebold incorporated her love of Ghanaian textiles to achieve an even bolder and brighter statement. The collection is comprised of cute crop tops, sweet dresses and neon accents that are transcontinental and eco-friendly. The catalog itself hosts studio and outdoor images.
