Eliane et Lena is the booth I hit first, just to get a feel for the season. Among great bright palettes, there's an elegant navy and white group and many "must-have" pieces.

 

Outstanding Pieces: Navy is as important to spring collections as dyed eggs are to Easter. But to keep the color fresh, designers change its cast - one year the tone leans toward green, the next season it's closer to royal. For spring/summer 2012, navy has a purply richness that looks exciting paired with warm pimento and yellow, and, of course, great with white. Here, the designers use the new navy with white to color a sophisticated floral flounce dress paired with a cute bonnet and bow-tied pants.

 

This dress doesn't need a lot of exposition. It's simply unlike any other tulle dress in the market, and there are a lot of them.
