Imagining a spring wardrobe fit for far-flung locales, Raina put out her usual array of patterned silk looks. This included a multicolor splatter-print that was reminiscent of a paint-n-swirl toy. Loose bubble hems and strapless frocks evoked effortless warm-weather dressing. Stand out pieces were the peter pan collar shift in a kicky green and blue tie dye and linen cropped blazers with simple notched lapels in popsicle hues. While diaphanous and floaty may be Raina’s bread and butter, a structured fusion would have helped give many pieces that missing modernity. Overall, her mix of spirited prints were a refreshing elixir. — Rebecca Fraser
