Working with a palette of soothing desert tones, this collections lightness and somber sophistication beautifully hit upon next season’s call for a cleaner direction while taking the label in a zone that felt decidedly less precious and more universal in appeal and versatility.
Here, each look had an enviable wearability, and not just for cocktail hour, draping was sliced into panels that created focus points and sculptural folds, creating a strong foundation for fall layering that’s anything but ho-hum. – Naveed Hussain, VagabondNYC
