Carving out a middle ground between formal and casual, the collection found its footing with sensible pieces and a hint of drama. Infusing billowing silhouettes from trousers to outerwear with a subtle western influence, an interesting kaleidoscope of ideas came together for a showing of sensitivity with a backbone.
