Tangerine, bright yellow, and shades of pink graced the runway as the ready-to-wear line for Paul & Joe made their much-awaited arrival. A variety of jumpsuits, button dresses, textured shorts, and cropped jackets made sure to make everyone in the audience want at least one piece from the show.

Of course floral showed up on floor-length dresses and so did brocades (a must for the upcoming season), as well as on extremely loose, high-waisted pants. Watching the collection, one got a sense of the seventies with the slouchy silhouettes. Looks like it’s going to be a relaxed and flirty spring ahead of us.

All in all, I can’t wait to seek out stores that sell Paul & Joe and make a couple of purchases (if affordable). What makes the collection even more wonderful is being able to see it be paraded in front of me and see the beauty of the garments on models instead of hangers.  When the lights came up and the music ended, hearing the applause arise from the audience when the designer made her quick bow, anyone could tell the amount of respect given to her.

Thank you to Christopher Parente (website) & Christopher Cosgrove for the photography!
