." Armor" might certainly not be the first phrase one would make use of to define Greta Constantine's vibrant spring compilation-- but it's what designer Kirk Pickersgill desired when generating his brand new offering of upbeat formal wear and tear. "When you think of the word armor, you think about garments that are there to defend you," he says. "But when girls go out, the apparel they put on is actually additionally the first point they want to be actually found in it provides you that air of assurance."
