For Spring/Summer 2014 we take inspiration from the exotic and eclectic world of Russia’s Golden Ring- a circuit of ancient towns northeast of Moscow, each with its own set of glittering onion-domed churches and medieval fortresses. From warm woody neutrals to folkloric classics and wonderful floral brights, the season is energized by the positive energy that color choices create.
