Surfer dude, modern musketeer and eclectic nomad are just some of the diverse ways to describe the Amapo Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Amapo unveiled its show-stopping presentation during São Paulo Fashion Week last month and shocked front-row attendees with its signature flavour of eclectic glamour.
Layering a series of clashing textiles, this Spring/Summer 2015 collection defies convention, fusing beach scene photo prints with botanical florals and sculptural headpiece accessories.
Whether clad in Toucan-adorned headwear pieces or in miss-matched print pairings, models took to the runway stage, bringing the label's fun and colorful vision to life. Setting the tone for next summer, this tropical collection leaves us in anticipation of the carefree summer days that are in store ahead of us this coming season.
