The impressively aligned spring collection will feature a robust range of goodies that will include home goods, stationery, apparel, and accessories. Speaking of accessories, Olowu enlisted the expertise of good friend and fellow innovator <strong>Iris Apfel<\/strong> to help secure the details; he also turned to artist <strong>Bella Foster<\/strong> to boost his visual template for the prints. Olowu endorses the versatility of the pieces that will be on display, and promises that there will be something for everybody. He tells <strong>InStyle<\/strong>, \u201c This collection is for anyone, from 18 to 80. Everything has a flattering element, whether you mix or pull out one piece and keep it simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The price points are simply divine! You can be decked out from head to toe in Olowu\u2019s drapery without having to take out a loan.
