The season began with a happy palette evoking the optimism of spring and led to the creation of a collection grounded in sophisticated neutral solids with pops of bright, vibrant color.

Print takes center stage this season - specifically the ideas of mixing prints together, using print in unexpected places, and manipulating printed raw materials to distort print.  I was inspired by tangled rope sculptures and paintings by the artist Arturo Herrera.  These ideas were incorporated into the collection through elements like printed spaghetti fabric draped on the bodice of the Spaghetti Dress and printed leather made into spaghetti straps on the Carlie Mignon Twist Sandal.  Lacing details appear on boots, high heels, and even bathing suits.

There is a strong tribal theme in the collection inspired by Native American prints and woven designs.  The pattern of a woven fabric design is replicated with pieced patent leather on the Idris Navajo Sandal and the Anna Platform features a luxurious woven leather panel.

The shapes and silhouettes of this collection reference early 90's dressing in a modern way, from short lace-up booties to easy blazers with printed rolled cuffs to linen jumpsuits and a lux motorcycle jacket done in soft washed double satin.
