Dennis Basso filtered his ethereal resort collection through a youthful lens. The color palette was a dream sequence of ash rose, ivory, dove gray and other pastel hues; the silhouettes skewed toward slinky cuts and daring transparency.
The lineup also had a sense of ease and movement, inspired by rolling seas. Sequined netting gave one clear gown a nautical take; on other looks, glass beading with a shell-like effect also played to the seaside theme. Fur jackets and stoles were made with a surprisingly soft, fluid touch. One standout featured strips of chiffon, organza and lace mended with strips of fox fur; shown over a slinky slipdress, it looked featherlight.
