Outside the Loden Dager show, the drizzle is turning into a downpour. But inside, spring is in full bloom. The show starts with a killer turquoise suit, followed by a sheer pale blue sweater/ aqua shorts combo. It’s an attractive one-two punch of power color to kick things off. Next up is a slew of patterned shorts and tops. Big, bold black & yellow or blue striped suits head down the runway, along with shorts in the same thick fabric. Little pockets appear with stripes contrasting in direction, and a Guatemalan vibe seeps in. Friendship  bracelets and belts with hardware designed by the always fun Phillip Crangi help drive the Central American theme home. Raincoats in bright reds and greens remind the audience of the soaked world outside, but with these colors, it’s all about dodging the puddles with a carefree attitude.
