story soft mod Inspiration is drawn from Mid-Century Modern decor and interiors with soothing monochromatic schemes. Gentle, vintage hues of the past are elevated with a modern approach to silhouette. Clean lines of Mid-Century Modern furniture are mimicked through simple, away-from-the-body silhouettes. This approach to shape is also applied to accessories, specifically handbags, with a focus on a simple, clean design. Soft Mod is all about the nostalgic appreciation of the past converging with modern thinking. It is a way to respect and relive the past while moving forward. Applied both in women’s ready to wear fashions and women’s accessories, Soft Mod is the perfect way to wear pastels head-to-toe in a sophisticated manner for Autumn/Winter 2018/19.

story neon night Dark is the night, illuminated by neon brights. Neon Night uses brights to pop against darks in a manner that is out of this world. Inspiration is drawn from the shocking contrast between a firefly and the darkness of night. Heavy ornamentation glistens and glitters like a starry night, and modified animal skins look alien. Other textures include sleek, silky fabrics that mimic liquid. All of these textures can be combined with each other and with other patterns to create a unique, eclectic look. Silhouettes vary but use these electric hues either as accents or as statements. When ornamentation is used it is extreme, often covering the entire silhouette. Neon Night applies to both women’s ready to wear and women’s accessories for Autumn/Winter 2018/19 and is a unique and curious way to take brights from summer to winter.

story nomadic nature Nomadic Nature is inspired by the earth and human’s desire to wander. The color palette is rich but each color is slightly muted. These rusted and roasted hues are perfect for Autumn/ Winter 2018/19. Hand-crafted knits and weaves can be used as an accent or a statement. These weaves and knits often involve many colors and are inspired by native peoples and the appreciation of hand craftsmanship. Nomadic Nature is all about colors pulled from the “golden hour� combined with tribal textiles.

story classical elegance Inspired by the color palette and fluidity of classical sculpture, Classical Elegance is all about juxtaposing soft and firm. Cool and creamy hues along with a variety of knits complete this look. Delicate, intense pleating and gentle lace are also used. Silhouettes are generally simple yet oversized. Cocooning sweaters and wide leg pants create a cozy, musthave look for women’s Autumn/Winter 2018/19 ready to wear. Classical Elegance focuses on various inticing textures while keeping the color palette clean, cool, and fresh.
