The snowy, sun-stippled mountains of South America and the brave British men who built the railway through the Andes were the driving forces behind this polished collection packed with mineral-rich colors — such as cobalt blue — and dashes of bright folk embroidery.
Rust-colored herringbone coats took their cues from the fringed poncho that opened the show, while other coats and jackets in solid hues had skinny colored threads dangling from the sleeves or colored scraps of fabric on the front pocket.
Among the collection’s standouts was a short cobalt shearling coat, a dark gold velvet suit with a subtle glossy sheen and a lineup of embroidered silk jackets. Accessories such as scarves and slippers were decked with small folk doll figures in colors such as pink, red and black.
