*Anne Cole* is always inspired and driven to color. And nothing
reflects this more than Anne Cole Signature Cruise and Spring/Summer
collections. Cruise employs a rich dark navy base and pops it with
white, cocktail pink, blue lagoon, passion pink, and palm green.
Designs include Anne Cole mesh tanks, clubhouse color blocks, two-tone
prints, and multicolor floral and stripes. Shirring, underwires, and
molded cups are being utilized in various silhouettes to accentuate
the positives! For Spring/Summer, think Palm Desert at dusk. Tusk and
dark teal provide the base, trimmed with cactus apple, Mojave pink,
oasis blue, and sundown yellow. New, innovative knit "elastic" is
a fresh trim element in keeping with Anne's DNA for clean, fun,
playful, and sexy design. www.annecole.com.
