Designers Max Azria and Lubov Azria for the Max Azria
label stated their vision "For Spring 2011, pure lines convey a vision of
simplicity. Unstructured silhouettes are given new life to layers of gauze,
silk georgette, and double-faced crepe. A-line dresses in asymmetrical hemlines
inspires ease of movement, while sportswear pieces take on a casual, effortless
approach. A fluid palette of warm beiges and creams blends into sorbet shades
of peach and mint, as linen and white dissolves into classic colors of pale
grey and black. Architectural details enhance the look with geometric cutouts
and linear strap placement. Sculpted wooden bangles and slashed clutches
balance suede booties and ankle-wrap sandals to complete the look."
Designers Max Azria and Lubov Azria
