Our Spring/Summer 2012 Presentation
Sharing some beautiful photographs of our Spring/Summer 2012 presentation via From Me To You.
At a presentation on Manhattan’s West Side, Banana Republic showcased their range of looks for spring and summer. From dapper suits and sweet summer dresses to safari looking day wear, they have us covered from date night to globe trotting…
The Khaki Utility Blazer
One jacket. Four pockets. All sorts of useful. Dressed up or down, freshly pressed or a last-minute layer, this is your new staple.
You may not immediately think office sleek but you’ll command all the right kind of attention when you pair this military-inspired jacket with a crisp white shirt and tie. After 5? Ditch the knot, throw on a crewneck and head directly to happy hour. How’s that for versatility?
Behind the Scenes: Accessories Styling
Earlier this week we posted about some of our favorite accessories for the season. While we’re on the subject, we thought it was a good time to catch up with stylist Nissa Quanstrom who helped make our April pieces pop. Check out the Q&A below (along with some behind-the-scenes photos) and get Nissa’s take on styling, inspiration, and this summer’s must haves!
Banana Republic: What inspires your styling?
Nissa: I have a love for the natural world and a passion for the created one. I often seek out art, film, architecture, and photography to help inform my current taste. Color palette combos can be found hiking or on urban treks. I try to keep my eyes open and my camera close.
BR: Three must have accessories for women? For men?
Nissa: For women: chunky necklace, low boots, and a slim clutch. For men: a leather messenger, acetate frames and a statement wallet.
Citrus Chic
On trend for spring — lemon. Lime. A burst of orange. Citrus is always refreshing. We like ours with a twist of khaki. The result? A sophisticated pallette that’s 100 percent fresh.
1. Adding a pop of citrus is a cinch — just buckle into the bright Lizard Skinny Belt. 2. The Sleeveless Safari Blouse in chartreuse is a super cool hue and pairs to perfection with the floral Mirabelle Blooms Pencil Skirt. 3. A fresh squeeze of color on your feet with the Stacey T-Strap Sandal will take you everywhere. 4. The Sunny Days Full Skirt in citron is both flirty and versatile.
Colors us ready for spring.
