Once you go black, you never go back!  Rocking the Africa Fashion Week stage in Johannesburg, Tart showed the fashion world that black is the new black.

Everything about the Tart Spring/Summer 2012 collection screams simple and easy to wear.  We are so used to seeing designers show dreamy, comical and over-the-top runway collections that have a 2% chance of runway to real street appeal.  We can all breathe a collective sigh of chic relief with Tart's designs.  While we are huge fans of color, we appreciate Tart's appeal to our modern career woman angle.  Each and every one of these designs are daily wardrobe staples for the modern woman on the go.

Each piece oozes sophistication, classic chic and allure.  From the form-fitting maxi dresses to the sexy leather pieces, work day, cocktail hour and evening soirees have never looked better.  While black is the focus of the collection, it doesn't straddle the line between chic and goth..... It's just chic. 

Fashion designers know that a burst of color adds a stylish touch to any collection.  Tart shows us why less is more with  one gorgeous green/black print maxi.  Tart knows that most women have curves and Tart knows how to dress those clothes.  With that in mind, this collection is versatile, sexy and contemporary.
