Inspired by the free-loving decadence of the '70s, the Alexis Mabille Spring/Summer 2011 collection is liberally adorned with summery daisies. Delicate, ditsy daisies trail across collars and cuffs, along trouser legs and shoulders, evoking nostalgia for summers past.
Entwined around wooden beads, or paired with leather thong sandals, the pastoral cliché is reinvigorated, as the boys look to naturalistic nuances for inspiration. Floral cut-outs, applied to soft suiting, add interest to silhouettes -- a less obvious reinterpretation of the ideal.
