spring collections: sachin + babi, new york

by Jeremy Danté

the SS11 sachin + babi womenswear collection fuses flowerchild chic with progressive design construction. while the palette is essential for spring, we see flowered prints with shots of red & fuschia, as well as a few black & white pieces contrasted with a few pale oranges. though interestingly conceptualized, i find that the collection palette takes away from the collection’s ability to truly shine.  while im sure other collections this season will use powerful colors & bright burst of contrast, perhaps this collection will prove to be a separation from what other designers are showing. the strength of this collection is the construction.
