Enamore finally moved beyond its retro aesthetic to include beautifully feminine lingerie in fun polka-dot prints (made with herb-dyed Indian silk) and sailor-inspired navy solids (soybean and organic cotton) trimmed with red-and-white bows.
Valentine Gauthier showed her spring collection of organic cotton and silk pieces, which are dyed according to Oeko-Tex standards, privately in The Marias. Her vegetable-tanned gladiator sandals have a warrior aesthetic, while her metal-hardware-embellished dresses evoked the ocean with their azure blue, coral, ink and natural hues.
The designer Leila Hafzi privately showed her exquisite collection of flowing dresses in a rainbow of silks. Hafzi’s collection was consistent with past seasons, with floor-length dresses hand-sewn in Nepal and a handful of drapey knits made from Mongolian cashmere.
Hafzi included a harem-pant jumpsuit for spring, as well as a few styles with shorter hemlines, while still maintaining the overall aesthetic of dreamy couture. This season, she also added a few pieces in Ahimsa or peace silk, a material she says she’ll use more in future collections.
