The 30-look collection created by Marie-Christine Statz featured broad shoulders, a touch of over-sized style and the addition of organic fabric shapes in a color palette of black, gray and white with accents of clay and blue. Contrasting silhouettes of strong, angularity were presented against softer, draped looks with accents of lace for added femininity.

The result is a beautiful collection that epitomizes creative versatility and joyful self expression. Transformative moments begin with the beauty of a simple snap button. Skirts evolve with a simple unwrapping. Drawstrings are another simple element that aid in transformation.
Overall, it’s a collection that deceives at first glance because beyond the surface are a multitude of intricate cuts and shapes that are essential for the variety of beautiful looks for the season.

It is also a collection that “welcomes a broad expression of attitudes, from simple and civil to experimental, expressive styling to creative layering.”
Timeless with a twist is the best way to describe the collection which ranges from tailored looks to flowing garments. A neutral color palette with pastel accents of lavender and orange, along with floral prints and striped fabric, are woven throughout a relaxed collection for today’s modern woman.

The collection represents a journey inspired by nature, unity and hope, according to the collection notes. White, black, pink and pale green create the color palette of the soft, airy and highly feminine collection. A new sequin embroidery produced in Switzerland adds a beautiful, dimensional touch. Light organza serves as another layer on several dresses and recycled fabrics, such as cashmere knit and faille are also integrated for the season to add contrasting texture.
