Marine anchors, oceanic symbols and 1960s inspirations; these are the little things that make the Spring-Summer 2016 Sportmax Collection as elegant as it is. Set in a widely futuristic mood, designs seem to flow on a much-relaxed atmosphere, in contrast with the intricate cuts.

The collection skews different angles in one big canvas, bringing together bits and pieces of laid-back tissues and sharp leather materials. Even colors stem from different poles, as a graphic palette of ecru and black meets the vibrant hues of yellow and tangerine.

New styles are perpetually blooming, from 1960s trapeze shapes to wide-legged pants and short A-line dresses matched with chunky sandals. The mere mention of wing toppers, pinafores and leather matelassé adorned with an oval buckle should be enough to leave you wanting more.

A striking look features luxurious lace guipure, leading to a see-through effect, while other looks showcase a wide array of springy prints, from fishnet portraits to chandlery chain stripes. Sportmax perfectly blends artificial and natural aspects, making the ultimate recipe for a balanced-out Spring-Summer 2016 collection.
