Never one to shun color or embellishment, Markus Lupfer piled on the pearls, flowers and retro patterns for this colorful, upbeat collection.
Inspiration came from many directions — glam rock, Forties bathing beauties and grandmother (for those pearls).
Lupfer said he was also going for a “light, drapey, softer silhouette” via smocked waists and wide sailor pants — all of it easy to wear.
Among the standouts were the longer silhouettes, including a green velvet devoré dress with a fish pattern, a guipure lace skirt with flower embroidery and an ankle-grazing patterned dress with a wide smocked waist to create a bit of drape.
Forties-style swimmers, with bathing caps and shapely legs, came as a jaunty embroidery on dresses and skirts, while colorful flowers blossomed across a sheer black bomber.
There was knitwear galore, including round-neck sweaters with brooch-like designs picked out in pearls at the front and printed silk sleeveless tops with knitted, ribbed bottoms.
A nautical motif also sailed through the collection in the form of striped regatta jackets and a snappy pair of navy blue silk crepe trousers.
