The Golden Dress - Sixteen gores give this dress its volume. The bust part consists of laser-cut ultra suede which is interwoven with grosgrain ribbons in various colors.
The Circle Skirt with Halter Top - A light organza halter top with a large collar goes with a floor length organza skirt consisting of circles of different colors all sewn together with French seams.
The Amazing Black Pants - Box pleas in the front, back and side make these pants as wide as a skirt. In the side seams there are pockets and the high waistband has a top stitching detail. The boxy top has a boat neck in the front and a V-neck with a button closure in the back. It is made out of laser-cut ultra suede which has additional cutouts that give the illusion of stripes and show the red organza lining.
The Leather Jacket with Voluminous Skirt - A draped skirt with pockets in its folds combines with a silk blouse and leather jacket. The collar of the blouse and the jacket follow each other to frame the face.
The Apron Outfit - The open skirt with belt is an allegory of the housewifely apron of the 1950s. It is worn over capri pants and with a draped knit top.

1950s inspired Womens Wear Collection

The initial inspirations of this prêt-à-porter collection are the voluminous skirts, waistline focus and fitted tops seen in the designs of the 1950s. By combining this with geometric, graphic design lines, bold colors and manipulated fabrics, the look becomes reinvented and therefore contemporary.
