Prints, patterns, eastern chic, animals, extravagance, fantasy, tradition. Those are not the kind of words frequently used to describe the aesthetics of the Spring 2012 season in fashion. Be genuine, be experimental, be bold. Minimalism and maximalism no longer exist as concepts in fashion. Don't be afraid of color matching, wear flower prints, become glamorous by choosing unique and not necessarily expensive stuff. And never forget to put a metallic detail on you, no matter what the rest of the garments are.

In his first collaboration with the Eternal Optimist, New York-based photographer Michele Pescione and his team created an editorial to be remembered.
