The who:
Taylor Momsen and the Hilton sisters.
The what:
It was all about the “pretty and prep,” explained Stacey Bendet, the femme mastermind behind the mega-brand. “Each look is juxtaposed with preppiness and romance.” Indeed, the collection was a fresh mix of sporty things that girly-girls will want to take for a whirl: white blazers paired with glittery tops, a denim bomber paired with a flirty leather miniskirt.
The highlight:
A butterfly-shaped clutch will be the must-have for spring. So was Bendet’s crystal hairpiece, which kept her perfectly shaped bun in place.
The takeaway:
The core DNA of the A+O girl was definitely there in the lace-trimmed gowns and crystal pointy-toe pumps, but it’s fun to watch the whimsical Bendet play ball with the sporty chic trend that’s undeniably a winner for spring.
