Begin Slideshow

Local designers Jill Giordano and Brian Scheyer of Gr.Dano once again looked outside of fashion for their inspiration for the spring 2012 season. "We were inspired by the Textile Stone series by Danish Artist Pernelle Fagerlund," they explained of the comfy-cool offerings that rely on a natural color palette (with a few jolts of a faded-lime hue), and slouchy, yet sculptural shapes. Take a peek at our favorite looks from the collection in our slideshow after the jump, and check out the rest of the garments at grdano.com. Curious to see how this collection compares to last season? Look no further than our Fall 2012 slideshow, which includes Balenciaga-inspired items that are now in stores!
