Bonded Jerseys shows the new weights and inspirational contrasts developing
for SS19. Eyelet Lace explores one of the season’s key fabrications with
contemporary iterations on a classic technique while wovens take on a
luxurious feel in Liquid Wovens with fluid, handles and high-shine
finishes.
Bonded Jerseys
Jersey fabrications have a more substantial feel for SS19 as marled
finishes in soft pastel and pale grey tones come with bonded backers.
Primary brights add an unexpected colour pop to neutral colour-ways while
fluffy brushed surfaces provide a textural contrast.

Eyelet Lace
Broderie anglaise is updated for spring with modern patternation and
seasonal motifs. Traditional embroidery, cutwork and needle lace techniques
create tropical palm leaves, summer blooms and minimalist geometric effects
for a fresh take on classic styles.

Liquid Wovens
Wovens take on a liquid look with lustrous high shine finishes. Gauzy
sheers with glazed and glossy finishes have a reflective, almost metallic
quality while coated surface treatments give fluidity to heavier
weights.
