A Single Nude Color Piece in a Vivid Coordinate
The coordinate Maiko Shibata created as her top recommendation for the spring/summer season is as follows. A Vionnet dress with a retro print and a hint of tribal atmosphere, paired with a patent Vionnet belt in a vibrant red and blue. For footwear, Christian Louboutin wedge pumps.
"The key is to boldly combine a dress with a vivid print with a belt in a pop of color. Conversely, finishing the styling elegantly with nude-colored pumps on the feet is the trick," she says.
"Also, I think an all-white coordinate is perfect for the spring/summer season. It's an advanced style layering a sheer outer over a lace dress from 'Altuzarra,' a notable brand that won last year's '8th CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund Awards (CVFF),' which aims to foster and support young designers. I believe this combination maximizes the beauty of the dress," she adds.
Whether it's a vivid vintage style or an all-white look that highlights the beauty of delicate lace, this season offers a variety to enjoy.
