The vibrant and fun Alice + Olivia Resort 2015 collection takes inspiration from 'One Special Summer,' an illustrated travelogue on the trip the youthful pair of sisters Jacqueline and Lee Bouvier took to Europe in the 50s.
The 1951 setting of the book comes through with playful A-line and full skirts, culottes and vintage-inspired prints, although a saturated palette of primary hues keeps the retro styles looking fresh. One extremely charming standout piece from the collection is a white dress printed with a coloring book-style belt, pockets, collar and detailing that is truly all about whimsy and youth.
The stylish Resort collection from Alice + Olivia is designed specifically for travel and lounging and it will go on sale exclusively at Alice + Olivia stores in the fall.
