The latest collection is based on the idea of reverie and is grounded in a monochromatic color palette of black and white with pops of rich color from blue and pink to metallics. Simple, clean lines with fluidity and movement paraded down a dramatic runway in a collection which showcased both men’s and women’s looks.
