Show Description:

With a nod to Banana Republic's heritage, urban safari chic returns for spring. Khakis and military-inspired separates are tailored while timeless separates come with a modern, urban twist. Linen shorts are now cropped and rolled, blazers nip in at the waist, and the trench evolves into the season's essential shirtdress. Crisp, cool lines are tempered by sultry asymmetrical shifts and a jolt of hot fuchsia. Shapes long considered sporty including box-pleat skirts and racer-back shifts become sculptural when rendered in voluminous cuts. Valise-like leather goods reference classic traveler accoutrements while exotic tribal prints and zebra accents in rich silks and woven raffia satisfy the city dweller's sense of wanderlust. The adventurous spirit of the ?70s continues to play out in the city sophisticate wardrobe. High-impact pieces, fluid maxi skirts with oversize blooms, dramatic length coats, and knits in electric hues offer a study in contrast when paired with sleekly subdued pieces. Distinctive Monogram suiting continues to play a major role in cosmopolitan attire. Refined materials are applied to shorter silhouettes in lean, youthful cuts including slim trousers and sharply-tailored jackets.
