Duro Olowu's collaboration has finally arrived at JCPenney. The Nigerian-born, London-based designer is internationally regarded for his fearless use of prints, and this collection brings all the bright plaids, checks, geometric patterns, animal and tribal prints, florals, and paisleys. But no need to be scared of all that color and shapes. The designer said of his collection, "It's one thing to mix patterns, but you sort of have to have a flair for it so that it's harmonious. It's all trial and error except that we've done the work."
Dresses are generally $40 to $60, tops are $25 to $40, and jewelry is $10 to $25. Bags are $30 to $50, the two pairs of shoes are $50, and you can get umbrellas, belts, luggage, and notebooks for $10 to $90. Bonus score: some of the prints for accessories and bags were commissioned from Olowu's old friend Iris Apfel. See the entire collection here and fulfill all your print-mixing needs here.
