Times Square!
Here, in the iconic heart of New York, everyone is a celebrity. Fashionistas from all over the world flock for a photo of themselves in the centre of it all.
In a spot where everything demands attention, there is only one way to stand out among the noise: colour.
These bold dresses prove that even the simplest frock is a sure-fire way to stay cool and look cute while exploring the concrete jungle.
