Limited color schemes, gorgeous color-blocking and an added air of class seem to be the theme with this season's high-fashion resort collections, and the Donna Karan Resort 2012 collection is certainly no exception. What adds to the beauty of these elegant ensembles is the sculptured shapes and classic accessories such as brooches and heavy diamond neck pieces.
Fashion Gone Rogue describes the collection as "offering masculine tailoring with feminine frills, hoop skirts and the button-up t-shirt get reinvented for a sleekly chic uniform." The collection offers a perfect balance between sophisticated style and casual street style. With its beautiful striking reds blended with gorgeous neutrals, these silhouette-framing styles are perfect for the summer season for anyone looking to get that striking look.
