in a way, spring fashion embodies a certain contradiction: as one feels the need

to shed layers and don lighter fabrics, the natural world begins to exude a certain 

fullness and visual richness.  so, how to celebrate the return of the season, especially

if you're feeling like floral prints have become a bit too obvious?  these new pieces from 

antik batik are here to fit the bill: wonderfully wearable silhouettes with an array of

embroidered & embellished details, all with an otherworldly twist.
