Young designers should learn from her. She knows what her weakness are and she steers away from them, she knows what her strenghts are and revolves her collections around it. That's why her collections are always so balanced - she knows exactly what she's doing and she experiments with what she can.
It's a lovely collection, and while I feel the eveningwear doesn't work as well (I feel the garments could do with a little less fabric, though I do love that nude fishnet dress and the blue plunged neckline cut-out dress), the daywear is absolutely sublime, especially the first few pieces, clearly referencing to pearls. And I am loving her cut-outs, they get better by the minute.
Stunning. Her gowns and dresses are beautiful. I love the shades of the blues and greens.

Love the first look in post #13 with the satin trousers - something different...
