Rebecca Taylor Spring 2012: Piecing It Together

Rebecca Taylor is nothing if not a girl’s girl, and she certainly knows how to please the ruffle-loving crowd. Exhibit A? Clad in appropriately embellished numbers, Louise Roe, Jordana Brewster, Ashley Tisdale, and (shocker!) Sophia Bush all sat front-row.

Still, the designer opted for a more eccentric, even slightly subversive–for her, mind you–direction this particular season. Rather than being worn traditionally as looped necklaces, for instance, long strands of pearls finished with a single colorful tassel were slung cross-body like a fancypants sash.
