Monica Paolini and Sean Monahan took the effort out of pre-fall dressing with a focus on built-in layering. The vast lineup, which was more sportswear-focused than in past seasons, was full of lived-in, wearable items — such as a sleeveless gray knit top and sheer skirt that was actually a dress.

Cozy cardigan sweaters and jackets with quilted linings still had a lightness about them, ideal for the transitional season. The duo also upped their denim offerings — a number-one category for the brand the past two seasons — and explored a Tyrolean theme with their use of embellishment, patterns and lace cutouts.
