Within the past year, Victoria’s Calculus turned its attention towards fashion labels that work closely with workwear designs, specifically changing the functional apparel into modern looks. The new Concrete Magnolias collection features works from designers including Jan-Jan Van Essche, Nicholas Daley, Casey Casey, and Evan Kinori.
The capsule features Daley's intricate work with garment dyes, billowing silhouettes by Evan Kinori, alongside core footwear and accessory options. The premium jewelry created by The Silver Stone compliments the fashion designs this season subtly as well. The warm weather is best suited with the nep-ridden and loosely shaped jeans designed by Kinori. Finally, to round out the collection are over-dyed bold work jackets by Casey Casey.
