Very cool stuff here. Always loved the quilted purple dress & beaded leopard-print gown.

This collection is really quite easy on the eyes, no? I'm a fan.

What I love about this collection is the sheer simplicity of it all. Admittedly you have some immaculate fantasy amongst this and some fabulous nods to Schiaparelli/trompe-l'oeil and Charles James. The beaded leopard skin and the knitted grey gown, with all this velvet!!!

And then there's the gorgeous classic suiting and jackets in sharkskin and black. The monastic black gowns and Natalia's jersey sheath with the viscous red. Swoon worthy. Even Eva's simple grey dress with the ribbed neckline and jacket is just done so well and is so needed to balance out the more intricate things. The collection is a lesson on restraint and balance, and a fantastic show of classic yet experimental pattern cutting/draping.
