Chase away winter blues by gearing up for the spring/summer 2012 trends!

Popular on the Spanish runway were light colours and colour-blocking that also predominated in the collection of renowned designer Ana Locking.

Ana Locking's spring/summer 2012 collection is colourful, classic and sexy.

Details, including capes, open and transparent backs, and fabric wrapped to create false pleats and overlays, created straight and oval silhouettes in the Madrid-based designer’s line.

Strong accent on details.

Colours featured in her open-toed sandals, as well as her clothes and accessories, included safari beige, intense amber, scarlet red, onyx black and amaranth pink.
