The tailored line featured blazer-style dresses, waistcoats paired with miniskirts and pantsuits elevated by unexpected peek-a-boo cutouts. “There is just something special when a woman designs garments for every woman out there. Let’s celebrate the beauty of being a woman — because all women are unique and beautiful in their own special ways,” the designer said in a statement released on Instagram.

Light shades of violet were paired with hot pink tights, while the combination of green and pink was used on more than one model. While the chosen shade of green did jar a little with the pink stockings, one hot pink-and-red pairing worked wonderfully well on the runway.
