Stripes are as inevitable to spring as florals are. Designers can be very creative with stripes by the way they choose to position them and the way the garment is cut, stripes also have the power to sculpt, slim and stretch the body. Resort 2015 embraced stripes in all their guises, on everything from skirts, shirts, pants, dresses, clutches and shoes. The ones that stood out the most were the stripes used on deck chairs, curtains, blinds and upholstery. Think bright and colourful stripes, oscillating between the thickness and thinness. These stripes always work well with florals, which can be seen in the collections of Chloe and Christian Dior. Christian Siriano opted for painted irregular stripes, Tia Cibani was all for engineered stripes, whereas, Just Cavalli’s style reflected bold regular stripes and Nicole Miller went for vertical and horizontal ones. Primary colour mixes like yellow and navy, effervescent green and navy, orange and red took centre stage for the summer.
