Simplicity can be deceit ful — deeper truths are of ten hidden under strata of feelings. In the same way, the honesty of a simple garment can reveal atcloser inspection a more complex construction.

The silhouette, while retaining its minimalistic appeal, plays with proportions — tops are proposed in shortened versions for men, while for womenstructured tailoring is paired with short-length underpinnings.
Color is one of the collection’s highlights, infusing appeal to the inventive layering and wrapping. The subdued palette of neutrals is energized by vibranthues of vivid green, turquoise, purple and orange; diaphanous white cashmere scarves are dyed in delicate gradients.
