Based on an inspiration of Puerto Rico's National Rainforest, "El Yunque", Thon's spring summer 2008 collection is titled "Blessed Forest". Its flora and fauna, combined with the beauty of their waterfalls, evokes in this presentation an uncontaminated world.
Organic greens mixed with browns from earthy roots become dramatic contrasts when mixed with deep to bright blues. An air of renewal through the return to nature, gives this collection a sense of calm yet a fresh innovation.
Puerto Rican designer Lisa Thon has shown her collection in New York City for the past two years. She graduated from Parsons School of Design and has her own fashion school in Puerto Rico.
