I am completely smitten with Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista’s 2008 Summer Collection. It is bursting with such luscious colors, shapes and a sense of fun that it just makes me giddy to gaze upon. Baptista succeeds in using large geometric shapes and strong colors while maintaining a soft, feminine grace, a rather tricky and remarkably impressive endeavor. The color-play across the entire collection is not only insanely fun and vibrant, but succeeds in marrying many different styles under one collection: from punk-rock lightning bolts to peasant capes to hippy fringe to frock coats.
See the entire colection here.
The superhero-esque masks are simply too sweet, and the icing on the cake of this amazing collection. Do you think I can get away with wearing one this summer?
