." Shield" may not be the first word one would make use of to describe Greta Constantine's multicolored spring season collection-- however it's what designer Kirk Pickersgill thought when creating his brand-new offering of upbeat professional damage. "When you think about the word armor, you think about garments that are there to shield you," he mentions.
