This 2016/17 collection exalts wool and cashmere as the metamorphosis of a modern woman evolved from a day in which fine fabrics and male tailors dominated the working corporate ‘costume.’
I actually am going to look for one of her costumes for myself.

Again, the final touches are in the feet. This unique, Italian, hand-made and embroidered classic slip-on with rubber-sole bottom called after the Turkmen horse, an ancient breed native to Central Asia. Traditionally raised by the Teke tribe, the horse owes its name to the oasis of Akhal-Teke. It is noted for speed, endurance with a thin and athletic appearance, and is noted for its golden hues. It almost became extinct in the 1950s.
Last yet not least, a general ambiance favorite: Champagne Karl and Cola!
Happy Springtime!
