NOLA Fashion Week S/S '12 - 10/21 Jolie & Elizabeth

The finale of NOLA Fashion Week's Spring/Summer '12 shows was local favorite, Jolie & Elizabeth. Their runway show was the largest with 34 total looks. With blends of seersucker and cottons, it truly reflected the feminine and flirty look of the traditional Southern girl with a twist. Of course pearls were a must accessory, but their use of floppy, over-sized hats and casual cotton accents updated this classic look.

Unfortunately, the lighting's interaction with my camera made it so that my shots didn't pick up the subtle details and colors in the fabrics, but here are a few shots to get the idea of the silhouettes...perfect for hot, humid Southern summer nights!
