Although it continues to adheres to this current fashion fad, the collection manages to stand out beautifully. Of course, this is due in large part to the sculptural shapes and stunning patterns worked into the line as well.

There are also some vibrant hints of color thrown into the mix in the form of a mustard coat with fur trimmings and rich red gown. Overall, the line strikes a balance between easy silhouettes and opulent fabrics to appeal to many urban women.
