A rebirth for the season and given these times, a way to emerge brighter and bolder to uplift the spirit. With techniques ranging from bleaching, the use of mesh fabric, pleating and the continuation of the new shoe series, everything comes together with ease to create a collection filled with clean lines and architectural style that is so distinctive to the brand. Whether for casual or formal occasions, there is always a level of sophistication in every piece.[/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]

Created with a calming color palette of beige and sand with hues of blue and pink for accentual pops, this is a collection with clean silhouettes that beautifully move as captured in the dance-themed film unveiled at Paris Fashion Week Online in July 2020.

At first jarring, the collection video and the individual looks immediately capture my attention. Once I peel back the layers and focus on the individual pieces created for each look, there’s a beautiful, modern and sleek edge to the collection accented with bold floral prints, checks, shiny vinyl and added layers for visual interest. [/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]

The color palette of black, pale orange and cream are reflective of the novel and soft, fluid and relaxed silhouettes of trench coats and dress jackets from battle references create a beautifully stylish, yet understated, seasonal uniform. [/x_text][/x_column][/x_row][/x_section]
