Josie Natori Spring 2013

Josie Natori has had a great year. She celebrated her company's 40th anniversary with a beautiful book, a museum exhibit in her home country and a gorgeous tropical fantasy of a collection for spring 2013.

The color palette was bright, like the sunny colors of the beaches.  There were a lot of figure-flattering (and disguising) draping and gathers for soft silhouettes.  Her signature embroidered details were present in the white cotton sleepwear the designer showed.

For accessories, there were several beautiful fan-like handbags.  Shoes were bright and strappy.  I would love to be able to wear the fresh orchid hairpieces on the models, but they are not for sale and far too high maintenance!
