“Pre-collections are where you really dress a lot,” she offered. “With a show, you’re thinking about a look, the crafting, and an element of astonishment. With a pre-collection, you’re thinking a lot about the direction of things and questioning everything piece by piece. There’s something almost timeless about it because the pieces have to work into a wardrobe without screaming what season they’re from.”
The designer concedes that working in fashion means changing your mind a lot. But with this collection she delivers a savvy exercise in repeating yourself just enough to be reassuring. – Tina Isaac-Goizé
