Subsequent to my last post whereby I shared my affinity for all things Mexican, it only makes sense that I feature Mara Hoffman's Spring/Summer 2012 ready-to-wear collection, which was heavily influenced by Mexican culture.
Hoffman is a New York based designer renowned for her eccentric and kaleidoscopic prints said to be inspired by mythology, nature, magic and world travel. Her S/S 2012 RTW collection features serape textiles, Otomi embroidery, dia de los meurtos (day of the dead) designs and bold tribal patterns. The Mexican influence is also apparent in the model's hairstyles, which are very "Frida Kahlo". I am drawn to bohemian-feel of the entire collection, which includes jumpsuits, airy dresses and caftans, statement necklaces and big bold wedges. Given a choice, I'll take one of each please.
