A soft, girlish mood swept similar to a peaceful zephyr by the Emporio Armani collection, ruffling the sheer folds of dropped-waist dresses and the gentle, smooth covers of wispy skirts; all 6 inches on tip of the knee, and moving with each step of the models vintage-look ankle-boots, and mango-satin shoes, equivalent on a set-square steel heel or a thicker, chimney-stack. Many skirts were cut to outline the derriere, but afterwards light out in interesting ruffles and folds to mid-thigh.

The delicate flirtatiousness was counter-balanced with manly blazers, despite cut in the lightest of lightweight wools, their tailoring equivalent with pleats at the back; in scaled-down, propitious drifting jackets; and in chalk-strike waistcoats, that transposed the entire t-shirt.

There were individualist and desirable touches too, such as the wide, china "slave" collars and cuffs, the giant, double-disc black earrings, the animal-print courts and matching, tidy handled-bags, and the big, pappy bags in crocodile and snake.

The palette of early-dawn shades of pearl-grey and lilac, with flashes of glitter, black-and-white, was sensory with injections of mango, for a drop-waisted dress, ragged with a grey-and-white pinstripe blazer,and a small tip and skirt, since a somewhat folkloric feel with the stitched hem.

Intricate sum drew the eye to a short-sleeved skirt in grey silk, the bodice folded in to a rose; and a bubbly beverage skirt, stoical wholly of silk sheer roses.
