Norman Ambrose created an ultra-chic, glamorous, editorial-ready collection for Spring/Summer 2012, bringing a sense of maturity and self-awareness to women of all ages. Rich coral, guava, and bold turquoise colors blended with ivory and gold pulled in a cohesive collection, inspired by the "sun glistening on the Mediterranean like a sea of diamonds. The use of metallics and beading on the fabrics also conveyed the inspiration; the contrast of black, slate and silver representing the lifecycle of the diamond from coal to precious gem. The gold glass bolero has such a movement quality that it caught every ounce of light personifying rays of sun. The finale look was a well-executed, red carpet ready ivory silk crepe evening gown with dramatic guava bow; ending the collection on a soft, feminine note.
