Designer Nicole Miller’s Spring/Summer 2012 show burst onto the runway with a blast of colors and prints on Friday at New York Fashion Week. The show was called Fast Forward Rewind, and it had a bit of the past in the 1980s styles on board and some 1990’s looks too. According to the show notes “the speed of wheels in motion..the velocity of a bicycle racing towards the goal” was the designer’s inspiration. To me, the whole thing reminded me of the Rolling Stones song, “She’s a Rainbow.” There were colors everywhere, like a rainbow. There were colors all around, but not necessarily like the sunset going down 🙂
I could see the bicycle rider’s reflection in the racer back tanks and the checkerboard patterns. Colors were bright with a palette that included Turquoise, Celadon, Orange, Purple, Fuschia and Watermelon. Can you picture this explosion of color on the runway? If your style is bold, and you want to stand out, then you will love some of the head to toe printed garments in this collection. Like the jumpsuit in the photo below with the patchwork style print on it. This is not the piece for a woman who wants to blend in at the party. It is also not a piece that will flatter every figure. If you are not tall and reed thin, I don’t believe these colorful patterns will be complimentary.
