Adventuring outside their comfort zone, Lagom’s inspiration for spring’s collection was found in Kenya. Imagining a Nairobi dawn, the label built a strong color palette of Masai Red, Green Lagoon, Savannah Yellow and other vibrant colors. Further inspired by wild animals and fabrics from Kenya as well as Tanzania, the season excitedly gets underway with elaborate prints and a clean structured wardrobe of subtly tweaked details. Ranging from cropped cardigans and asymmetrical paneling to wrapped elements, Lagom infuses the season with the unexpected and comes out on top with an intriguing new dawn.

Taking a more relaxed approach than last season, The Local Firm reveals a somber collection for spring.

Linen and lace lay the foundations for a sensitive season from Lars Andersson. Serving up a mix of loose and fitted ensembles, elongated silhouettes lend Andersson’s spring collection an elevated stature.

Following closely in the footsteps of Guts, J.Sky is the latest character to be released from Makin Jan Ma’s upcoming spring line. Whereas Guts presented an outspoken character, J.Sky, also known as Jody Sky, Jody Boy or just plain Sky represents the complete opposite, possessing a general cool that makes him a generally laid-back guy. Originally from Ohio, Sky is parts British and Polish. Rebelling against a religious upbring, Sky founded a successful Polish porn site at the age of 16. Since, he has traveled the world, incorporating pieces from his adventures into his eclectic wardrobe. Casual, but interesting, J.Sky stands out with a unique sense of style that feels indefinitely him.

Hot on the heels of spring’s extended trip to the beach, Stolen Girlfriends Club puts the heavy prints away and looks to the summer with light layers of silk organza, georgette and cotton.
