The silhouette is womanly, to the knee, right below or short; curves and straight lines alternate and interact. The accent on the waist – slightly high, always cinched – creates a sense of feminine control. Blouses with 3/4 length sleeves worn over tailored shorts or mannish trousers, and longer tunics worn with slim bermudas or pencil skirts are tied at the waist, bringing focus on the hips.
White shirts worn as a base layer under printed dresses, tops and coats have an air of graceful modesty. Brocade coats exude couture elegance, loose trench-coats and zip-up anoraks worn with side banded slouchy trousers have a sporty feel. Tassels add movement. The feminine and easy gesture of tying a ribbon around the waist reconfigures a series of square boxy pieces made of wool crepe backed in ivory cotton.
The dense color palette is a mix of gem notes of orange, purple, green, blue. Black and white provide a firm, graphic frame. Bold prints nod at the 70s adding a disturbing element: abstract flowers, micro dots, pinstripes.
Fabrics have a firm hand that enhances exact cuts: cotton cady, double duchess, canvas, crepe marocaine, wool crepe, ottoman.
Accessories are: sandals with a wedge and a stack heel in two matching deep colors, flat or medium-heel sandals with contrast piping, flat sandals with gold bows. Geometric, compact shapes on the bags – shoulder styles in different sizes – bring attention to materials and finishes: contrast borders, laminated effects, geometrical motifs obtained through perforation of layers. The bijou has pure and bold lines: geometric horn pendants attached to metallic structures; leather and horn bracelets with cabochon closures. Oversized acetate sunglasses add mystery.
