Bon Appétit! Revolves around anything and everything that includes a restaurant. A melange of themes, uniforms, and items inside a restaurant takes twists and turns to find themselves integrated into the daily world to be worn and cherished. Mainly rotating around variations of aprons and elements of them in drapey silhouettes combined with carefully tailored sharp pieces the looks create a balanced look of sensual femininity. Textures such as poplin and wool which exist in the realm of uniforms coexist with an unconventional fiber such as “fused receipts” as well as leather pieces, accentuating the artisanal nature of the collection.
