For his debut E. Tautz women’s wear collection, Patrick Grant worked a maritime palette of navy and white for wide-leg, high-waist jeans and shorts inspired by Fifties naval uniforms, and roomy tunic-style tops in a denim and linen stripe.
An oversized, striped linen fisherman’s sweater added to the nautical theme, while slim trousers and a double-breasted blazer with four patch pockets comprised the tailoring component. It was a concise, well-executed collection, but felt more like boys’ clothing for girls, and could have done with a more feminine spin.
