In a light and summery collection it was the endless variety of the pieces which made the statement. Dresses, jackets, shorts and trousers mixed and matched with resort prints which were carefully placed across the shapes. Key features were the necklines which featured curved shapes, cowls and drapes and cape sleeves effects. Silhouettes contrasted between softly rounded, soft and square cut or fit and flare.
The pieces offered a summer wardrobe with endless possibilites for the customer as well as many of the coming seasons key looks such as flip hemmed dresses, easy fit all in ones, wide legged palazzo pants, and the jersey top. The quality of the finish and the fabrics added to the strength of a collection which successfully encompassed commerciality with ideas and wearability with innovation. The final floor length terrace dress with a cowl back and draped neckline combined with a long slender silhouette perfectly encapsulated this.
