Tailored precision enables a steely determination. Strict yet not uptight. Curves, pleats and gathers soften the line. A sinuous flow defines the bust, the waist, the hip. The leg smart in understated colour, the shoe with a meaningful point. Cashmere, tweed, flannel and faille give texture, a softened line and subtle sheen. Tones of tan, cocoa, stormy grey and uncompromising black injected with shots of molten metal. Half belts, tabs, bows and buttons set the standard.

Silks in muted pinks and silvered greys reveal a glimpse of feathers, fringing and glittering gems for cut-tothe-knee finery. The final glance in matt black jersey – composed and cut to the floor.
