WOMEN/Youth – Collections feature handcrafted details and decorative finishes in designs, which also offer versatile and adaptive styling. Pieces are often frivolous and fun, featuring pretty decorative touches with lingerie-like construction, but can also be boldly futuristic in dramatic cuts with a clean finish.
MEN/Youth – New styles feature subtle detailing and clever deviations to swim shorts and trunks with a sharp focus on fabric, print and texture – to add another dimension. Retro elements continue to impact designs and the focus for pattern is on coordinated looks.
