Sweet and whimsical, the Alice + Olivia Resort 2014 lookbook sets a romantic tone for the season of getaways. Forgetting about tropical settings, it embraces the English countryside. In doing so, the line channels the look of the pretty boarding school girl, complete with full skirts, wide-brimmed hats and feminine prints.
Of course, there is a maturity about the Alice + Olivia Resort 2014 collection that will appeal to women of all ages. The youthfulness of the looks simply adds a sense of wonderment that only children experience on a daily basis. The lookbook captures this essence through the use of falling petals.
Envisioned by creative director Stacey Bendet, the Alice + Olivia Resort 2014 collection is rife with patterns, color and texture.
