Womenswear moves forward with powerful new proportions, balancing big oversized shapes and dynamic curved lines, with serious crops and bold statement details. The structured trapeze line and the soft, puffy blouson are key silhouettes, which are set to make an impact across soft separates and jackets.

Femme elements bring in snappy waistlines and contoured fits, while detailing moves into sweet frills, gathers and fringes.
