#NYFW: Desigual Spring 2015 With Adriana Lima

Blooming runway! It was the first official day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.  Desigual's Spring 2015 show was the highlight most of the photographers looked forward to.  The male shooters were buzzing about Adriana Lima who walked the runway.

I have to say, the mother of two brought heat to this catwalk.  The big, bold graphic prints made the tent a hothouse of style.  There were bright florals, engineered geometric prints in their signature rainbow of colors.  There were a lot of easy, short knit dresses that looked comfortable and easy to throw on.  The big slouchy handbags were also made in high contrast patterns.

As loud as the prints were in this collection, they are still wearable for the demure shy gal.  The simple silhouettes are relaxed and can be paired with a solid jacket or cardigan.  The ground color of many of the prints are black or white, which matches a few things most women have in their closet.

Big flower crowns were the accessory of choice, giving a Latin, romantic feel to the show.  The cheeky thought bubbles brought a smile to the audience, ranging from "I need a boyfriend" to "I love photographers".   The finale was a shower of rose petals from the models themselves.

If there is a secret garden where all of these looks live, let me be the first to visit...
