PRE-FALL 2022 COLLECTIONS
“In Collection 009, those happy accidents manifest themselves into tucks and pleats, gathers and twists that create opportunities to explore a timely sense of sensuality while also embracing an off-ness. Other, more pragmatic details like hidden zippers within dresses allows for the individual to explore a desired modesty or exhibition at their own discretion.” – Christopher John Rogers
