Fast Forward

Fashion is taking a big leap into the future.  Designer retail brands are spearheading the movement to  modern and relevant style. RAOUL'S WOMENSWEAR SPRING/SUMMER 2012 is all about "The Fast Look" wherein fashion minimalism of the 90’s moves into the future. The new tailoring is structured and streamlined, stripped of superfluous detailing, highlighting the essential forms.Shapes are high on the waist, trousers fit and flare, or taper down to the ankle while shorts are in silk, perforated leather or printed pique. Skirts and dresses race high above the knee, graze the lower shins and ankles. Racer-striped knits,graphic color-block dresses. Standout pieces come in colors to keep you cool such as white, vanilla, citron, highlighter-summer green, cobalt and deep blue; and colors to compete with the scorching heat like dusty rose, sesame, pumpkin and neon-hot pink.Signature sharp shirts and shirt dresses are all there; in classic white and navy as well as in refreshing new combinations: vanilla with summer green, citrus lemon with sorbet white and cobalt blue with white or cocoa brown. This season, no need to think about how to make a statement with all the fuss and frills because all you have to bear in mind-less is more.
