Citing a North African influence — reflective, perhaps, of his French-Moroccan heritage — Yigal Azrouël showcased easy, holiday-ready silhouettes with a romantic flourish.
He worked ivy, floral and mosaic prints on flared knit dresses and silk caftans with lace-up necklines. For day, there were cotton eyelet-embroidered dresses, sophisticated high-neck blouses and his signature leather motorcycle jacket, updated for the season with colorful embroidery and prints. Azrouël’s knack for fabric manipulation gave the looks a textural, multi-dimensional appeal, evidenced in a floral-printed silk halter dress featuring a black-and-white guipure lace bodice. The femininity was in the finishing touches: the delicate pom-poms or Chantilly lace that trimmed several of the looks.
