Feelin' the blues

The black night sky was painted blue as guests arrived at the launch of Penshoppe’s summer collection. The ladies kept it cool, comfy and stylish as they wore flowing dresses, shorts and loose pants.

Attired in floral, gingham and plaid prints, they brought to mind the idealistic and folksy ‘70s.
