While the Tommy Hilfiger collection brought Caribbean chic to NYFW, designer Anna Sui set her eyes upon a different island for the Anna Sui Spring and Summer '16 collection. This lavish line features 63 sun-kissed looks perfect for resort season.
It was a luxe getaway to Tahiti and Honolulu that sparked the inspiration for this collection. The island vacation resulted in kitsch bowling shirts, souvenir bomber jackets and a tropical color palette. Exotic floral prints adorn fringe-heavy skirts and dresses, while stripes play a major role in this collection as well. Sui even managed to throw in a little fur trim on a lacy black and white dress fitted with embroidered florals.
The Anna Sui Spring and Summer 2016 collection is sure to have fashion fans planning their next island vacation.
