This optimistic energy was channeled by the designers into a collection that featured their distinctive shirt fabrics, airy silhouettes, and a flurry of pleats, pintucks, and buttons. In contrast to the turmoil outside, the pair stated that they were aiming for "simplicity and serenity."When asked about the overall mood for pre-fall, Harding said, “We’ve been on a creative journey to find inner peace, and while the process is still about us celebrating our strengths together, this collection is focused on a more monastic, serene attitude, especially while the world around us is seemingly going mad.” Coziness is a fundamental component of the garments, but there’s also a louche, easy elegance to the lineup’s soft A-line forms, which range from tactile knits to satin dresses that drape sensually over the shoulders. A variety of calming hues in ochre, navy blue, and ivory appear throughout, emphasizing the tranquil sensibility they are after.
