The Clover Canyon Resort '16 collection takes fashion fans back to California in the 60s. The nautical cruise collection is inspired by an amusement park.
Creative director Rozae Nichols promotes her childhood through her latest collection. Inspired by 'The Pike' amusement park in Long Beach, California, Nichols incorporates nostalgia through 60s silhouettes, print-heavy fabrics and a fun color palette. The flirty shift dresses spew vintage Palm Springs style, while the miniskirts and cropped pants appeal to a more nautical fashion sense. Neoprene is seen as a frequently used fabric that is used to construct crop tops and caftans.
Also paying homage to California style, this collection features a floral print utilizing the California poppy. The Clover Canyon Resort '16 also offers lace-up and laser-cut details.
