Category : Latest, Men, Spring, Summer, Women

Visit Fashion Wire Daily for a good round up on the Banana Republic Spring/Summer Collection and a great selection of images too.

The report tells us that BR has drawn heavily on its safari roots – re-inventing the khaki trench as a sleevless shirt dress or vest, using bold animal prints, military style blouses and jackets and relaxed wide-leg trousers. The collection also featured shocks of colour in silk, floor length gowns.

For men, look out for crinkled cardigans, loose khaki trousers and slim seersucker pants.

By the way the sunnies and bags are great too!!
