Be seduced by sweet temptations and welcome an electrifying and eclectic range of fashion staples, accessories and home items with Robinsons’ latest Spring / Summer 2016 collection. Featuring two beautifully juxtaposed themes – New Romanticism and Simplexity – this collection will definitely stir your senses, as you surrender to the sweet temptations of fashion.
Embrace the warm feel of spring with soft colours and pastel designs forming the core of Robinsons’ New Romanticism series. The palette of beige, muted pinks and yellows as well as clean whites, which seamlessly echoes the gentle touch of floral prints, exude a charming confidence and understated feminine beauty.
Alternatively, “Simplexity” is a portmanteau of the words “simple” and “complexity”. Playing with contrast, the collection seeks to blur the dichotomy of the two. With Simplexity, contrast is the key. From bold blacks tempered with elegant whites to simple basics with complex silhouettes, “Simplexity” is perfect for adventurous style mavens!
