For the past couple of years Hendy has been absent from the New York circuit opting instead to show his collections in the Carribean and Canada, but now he brings a life of color and tropical inspiration for his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Bursting with exotic prints, his casual pieces were definitely a statement on its own, but it was the quality tailoring of the suit separates that caught one’s eye. I find it refreshing that a designer isn’t afraid to punch colors into formal wear such as suits, I feel it gives it some versatility where one may wear it together for an amazing statement, but also wear the jacket and the pant separately paired with a muted piece for a daytime event. Welcome back Francis Hendy, but little do most people know- you never really left! With impeccable tailoring and a master craftsman it’s no wonder why celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rhianna, and the Black Eyed Peas continue to support Francis Hendy’s style and creations.
