Theme of the Collection : WHEN LOVE TOUCHES YOU - The collection explores loving and longing in the context of modern city life shown through softer fabric. Hints of the hard edge are projected through the sharp tailoring and construction. Jackets, linen, silk, cotton, mull, georgettes and net make up this couture line.
