The Badgley Mischka Resort 2015 Collection is inspired by the colors and the flowers of Bora Bora, and by Paul Gauguin’s paintings.
Another Bora Bora-influenced collection : Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2010 (this show featured tie-dye pieces which made reference to a snorkeling trip to Bora Bora).
