Dots, stripes, hearts, flowers, stars, bows, logos, rainbows, clouds and tangled outlines of all sizes flooded the runway.

The palette is enormous, from primary colors to the secondary and tertiary ones. They all mix amongst themselves, creating a feeling of baroque minimalism, mixing this wide range of color with graphic elements which include knitted wool, plush, neoprene, satin, poplin, waterproofs, crepe and even sequins.
