The collection embodied the designer’s signature style of multiple cuts and asymmetries and embraced the female figure by making silhouettes closer to the body line to highlight elegance and femininity. Details which I personally enjoyed consisted of the simple slit in the dress or coat to see bare skin — just enough to balance the sensual femininity. Also of note were the layered techniques which were well balanced and the usage of recycled plastic bottles to create some of the fabrics used in outerwear.
