For famed designer Byron Lars, the Spring 2012 collection was about giving up control!

He told us exclusively, “This season, I let the fabrics dictate every single piece of the collection, while relinquishing the control that I typically like to wield over textiles was both challenging and very, very liberating!”

His label, Byron Lars Beauty Mark, takes center stage for the Spring 2012 line, “with a supporting cast of neutrals.”

Fashionistas can expect this color palette to be available in uber light fabrics like laser-cut chiffon, re-embroidered organza and sequined faux leather. 

We guarantee: you will want to reach out and touch — and buy — this collection ASAP.
