“The inspiration is that there is no inspiration,” said Erika Cavallini, who instead opted to deconstruct and re-construct a range of women’s wear staples.
This was a smart move, allowing the designer to express her relaxed, effortless aesthetic in a very personal and independent way. Details usually hidden were elevated to become decorative elements, such as the inner construction of a tuxedo shirt’s plastron, or the lining of a silk skirt.
Coats with raw edges were shown over over silk slipdresses with lace embellishments. Asymmetrical pleated panels gave a dynamic twist to dresses and skirts, while a leather corset belt with an oversized buckle enhanced the waistline when worn with a slouchy suit with a masculine feel.
