The dress code du jour? Sunshine yellows, natural shades of green, spring-ready blue denim and a modern floral take on the corset trend. It’s not just stylish, but incredibly fitting – not just because the first signs of spring are finally here, but because of the theme of the new issue: “Mother Nature”.
