NAHM, the brainchild of Nary Manivong and Alexandria Hilfiger, launched last fall with a design focus on the shirtdress. In their Fall/Winter 2012 collection, NAHM mixed playful patterns and clean lines. Unexpected sheer cutouts lent an edgy touch to the collection. Contrasting sleeves and collars added masculine flare to an otherwise girly silhouette. The unexpected color palate of pastels, navy, and maroon perfectly showcased the whimsical patterns, taking a the classic shirtdress to new heights.
