As the models began walking down the runway, Simons vision of “the very idea of spring” came to life. Although similar to his debut collection in July, asymmetric florals and bright artificial colors engulfed the runway. A highlight from Simons’ collection is the attention to detail of color placement. Trimming creams and blacks with neon were prevalent throughout the show.
