Gigi and Rachel’s Inspiration: Art Noveau

This spring season, our designers were influenced by the universal beauty of the French gardens and the dynamic Art Nouveau movement, which bridged a period of transition from romance into modernism at the end of the 19th century.  This new style of art was embraced across Europe and America, influencing many aspects of culture.

Their Pick: Everything with Pink!
