Enhancing sleeve silhouettes to bolder, sloped dimensions give a new meaning to the traditional power shoulder.

Feathers add movement, texture, and exaggeration to any design. Seen across recent Victoria Beckham and Balenciaga collections.

Buttery, smooth leathers are back in classic style.
SCULPTURED SILHOUETTES
