Julian J. Smith‘s obsession with prints, patterns, contrast and color, comes out again this season with his Spring collection. He is known for creating vibrant dresses that celebrities like Victoria Beckham like to wear. Inspired by the abstract impressionism of Willem de Kooning, the prints covered pieces in full or were cut into geometric panels along with leather, chiffon and opalescent metallics in sherbet tones. Smith’s collection had sheer layers and offset necklines creating asymmetric drama to his cocktail dresses.
