St. John for Spring 2012, held at the St. John boutique on Fifth Avenue, proved that all-American glamour could very well be effortlessly chic. Creative Director George Sharp drew on Carly Simon for inspiration in her embodiment of free-spirited glamour. With ribbed knit separates in grey and white, cream blazers, pleated pants, deep v-neck halters, and floor length liquid gowns, the collection will be desired by any modern woman aspiring to dress with sophisticated ease. The muted palette ushers in a hushed sex appeal, but sportswear at the brand still maintains it’s cool, crisp, sharpness.
