While last season represented my take on classical PORTRAITURE replete with off-kilter tiaras (often layered), feminine transparencies, and mixed and layered metallic laces, all celebrating an artsy vision of “fairie” mid-summer night’s dream royalty…this season explores a new, gentle, relaxed kind of design freedom! Sensual, female, light, seductive.

Some asymmetry with a deliberate play on volume, Mixtures of silhouettes and fabrics, Contrasts in textures and tonalities, Muted tints though layering and veiling, A full exploration of floral embellishment as collars, sleeves, petticoats, and corsages…

Like “cubist” paintings, many dresses can be viewed from a 360* perspective, creating an element of surprise at every turn

Modernity through deliberately random combination of all design elements
