Tanya Taylor's bright and cheerful spring/summer 2017 collection was inspired by her recent travels to the islands of Cuba, Barbados and Capri.

'I wanted the looks to feel super celebratory and easy, Tayna told WWD. According to her, the women who would wear her current designs are 'confident and sort of peacocking.'

The presentation, which was held at Spring Studios, featured models standing on top of multi-colored sandboxes in uber feminine looks. Dresses and separates alike were adorned with ruffled floral prints, palm leaf cut-outs and embroidered tassels.
