"She s a sexy tomboy with a bit of bon vivant," Rebecca Minkoff said backstage before her show. And that is a pretty accurate way to describe the clothes that came down the runway. The pumping sounds of indie group Tennis mixed with DJ Cassidy s beats riffed off Minkoff s reinterpretation of Slim Aarons photos. The models were cooler, more modern versions of the 1960s jet-setters and socials that he snapped as they lounged by the pool. Think boot-cut jeans with floral bottoms, faded motorcycle vests, sunset-print bomber jackets, and a grandma-chic tweed shorts suit. The trendy track pant even got a bit of a refresher—colorful flowered stripes went down the front of the leg instead of the side. Midway through the show was a series of bandanna-inspired looks, which were the highlight of the collection. Case in point? White jeans with red embroidery paired with a matching "Leno" jacket and topped off with a 70s-style headpiece. Minkoff also took a risk with an open-back, utility-style jumpsuit and a pair of snakeskin overalls, but managed to pull them both off as only a true Minkette can.
