Kate Spade does it again as its mod-style presentation for New York Fashion Week breathed an impressive collection of deco-print dresses and ’60s-inspired silhouettes, all with a vivid color scheme fit for Spring/Summer 2014.

We also spotted some fantastic clutch bags!

The collection is themed around Creative Director Deborah Lloyd’s trips to European cities. No wonder we see a little bit of everything in the mix, such as Paris’ romantic architecture, Monaco’s races, and Capri’s Mediterranean culture.

Brad Goreski’s styling prowess helped the presentation successfully reach its target—the hearts of everyone.

1. Black and white but hardly dull, this dress looks like a revamp on the vintage-style fit and flare, except that it has an empire waist and an intricate print of what looks like a wrought iron gate.

2. This satiny blue dress is perfect for special occasions like weddings or soirées. Its haltered style goes well with its straight top and flared skirt, and that strip of white gives it that mod kick. We hope it comes in other jewel tones.

3. Monaco’s Grand Prix inspired this square-print dress with a straight silhouette and a pleated skirt. It’s almost like a tennis outfit, but we’d rather wear it for walks in the park or a Sunday brunch. Plus, that wide-brimmed hat tops it off perfectly.
