A punk biker jacket is feminized into a cotton cashmere cardigan, the aggression of its rivets becoming ladylike pearls. A lace tablecloth is translated into decorative punk-like patches.
Delicate floral prints are super-sized, miniaturized, embroidered, pleated and cross-pollinated with checks, all in one light-as-air dress.
A pillow-case is re-appropriated into a series of bags. Sporty nautical details feature on shoes by Pierre Hardy for sacai.
