Fotini Spring '13 Collection

Intern LCogs observes Fotini's Spring 2013 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Fotini's inspiration for her Spring 2013 collection was the whimsical gardens of Provence. Light pastels and bright whites decorated the presentation. Models were organized around a platform that displayed the grandest piece in the collection, a beautifully beaded white strapless gown.

Fotini used delicate hues to create sumptuous looks, similar to the 18th century painters that inspired her color choices.

The deep v-neck dress was a personal favorite (above, left). Organza, silk chiffon, and lace were the perfect materials to enhance the elegance and grace of this collection.

Pairing the collection with a table of colorful French macarons was a fitting and delicious choice.
