Rebecca Taylor surprises all, with glamourous and effortless looks, ideal for the sophisticated, urban woman as seen in her Fall 2012 collection. It was a new fashion forward direction from her usual cheery, feminine and light pieces. Despite the initial tough, tomboy affect some of the looks portray, Taylor adds the perfect amount of delicate feminine touches through details, such as layering, patterns, and color.
Although each piece in itself is magnificent, the way Rebecca uses her pieces to compliment one another is why they stand out. Layering her heavy, even bulky, jackets and sweaters with sheer, light tops gives the looks a moment of refresh and allows the heavy, bulkier items to be worn successfully; without weighing down the wearer. Rebecca also adds sheer sleeves to leather jackets giving the same affect.
We see reminders of Rebecca Taylor’s previous collections in her feminine flowing dresses and fun flirty skirts. Taylor uses deep rich hues, bold patterns and geometric shapes to make these looks rejuvenating and eye-catching. However, when a print is about to feel too heavy or overwhelming, Taylor once again uses sheer fabric or a lighter knit to break up the tension and allow the look to breathe leading to the perfect balance of color and pattern. Taylor uses these same skirts and dresses to creates contrast between tough and sweet by pairing them with heavy jackets or studded accents. Women from Los Angeles to New York will feel at home with the sophisticate, chic pieces to boost her wardrobe.
