Blending Victorian silhouettes with east/west styling was evident in the extremely feminine collection which included the designer’s signature ruching and draping of satin fabric, goldfish and water grass prints, floral motif, along with cotton lace used prominently in many looks.
Contrasting the more Victorian-esque styling, a lighter color palette with pastels and prints, along with contemporary boots and pumps, and whimsical pearl accessories brought a lightness and modernity to an overall proper, yet dramatic collection.
