Given the warm LA climate, it's not surprising TART stuck to what they do best: easy, breezy, micro-modal dresses. There were oodles of flowy dresses, long and short. Prints, like exploding dots and feathers, were introduced and much appreciated.

I took note of bandeau-style bikini tops paired with high-waisted genie pants, racerback mini dresses, turtleneck frocks, and details like Grecian ruching and braiding. Most dresses came with deep V-neck bodices, halters or one-shoulders. Think Jerry Hall with a modern twist.

Though the body-hugging material used in TART clothing is not forgiving, this collection is ideal for a girl who spends much time in the sea and surf because it's light and airy.
