Tell us all about your latest collection Echo.
Echo showcases soft, earthy tones—warm neutrals accented with bold prints and solids. The collection uses sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, silk blends and satin. Textures include intricate pleats and draped fabrics. The silhouettes range from relaxed, oversized shapes to more tailored, structured pieces, offering both fluidity and sophistication.
What’s the idea behind this collection?
It is inspired by the idea of timelessness and the ongoing dialogue between the past, present, and future. The collection celebrates sustainability and craftsmanship, merging modern, minimalist designs with classic elements that evoke a sense of nostalgia. It goes beyond seasons and styles. There’s a focus on materials that are both luxurious and responsible, as well as designs that can be dressed up or down, allowing for versatility in various formal settings.
What are the key womenswear trends this year?
A mix of nostalgia and innovation, key trends include oversized, relaxed silhouettes, tailored minimalist pieces, and a focus on sustainability. There is also a resurgence of ’90s-inspired styles, with slip dresses, oversized blazers, and low-rise trousers making a return. Vibrant colour palettes, including earthy tones and bold metallic accents, are prominent, alongside fabric innovations like eco-friendly materials and textured finishes.
What are the wardrobe must-haves for occasion and party wear?
For occasion and party wear, key wardrobe staples include a versatile tailored blazer, a well-fitted midi dress, and elegant separates like a silk top or pleated skirt. Metallic accents and statement accessories, like bold earrings or a stylish clutch, are essential for elevating any look. A sleek jumpsuit or a beautifully crafted evening gown is a must-have for formal occasions, ensuring sophistication and comfort.
