Designers Alexa Adams and Flora Gill drew inspiration for the many variations on stripes in their pre-fall lineup from Jimmy Nelson’s photography book “Before They Pass Away.” African tribal textiles were reimagined into short, A-line knit skirts, tops and dresses in unexpected color combinations such as olive green with ultramarine blue and fuchsia with orange. “The bright colors do very well for us in places like Miami and Brazil, but we also worked on a more fall palette, such as the olives and blues,” Adams said.
Non-striped pieces were shown monochromatically, as in an all-white look of trousers paired with a buttoned-up shirt under a knit tank top, or color-blocked so that “everything pretty much goes with everything,” Gill added.
