Filippa K _ Spring 2012 Striped Maxi Dress

Today’s Fashion Friday looks at this relaxed maxi dress from Scandinavian designer Filippa Knutson, of her Filippa K design house. It represents a beautiful pattern, a relaxed cut, and a lifestyle that I aspire to.When translated into this hospitality lobby, the strong horizontal stripes create a focal wall that draws the eye. The modern color palette and simple geometry add to the casual vibe. The use of antique mirror within the horizontal stripes is key to keeping the feeling relaxed.
