Crystalline, frosted sparkles delicately adorn lace and embroidery. Subtle silver metallic shines, beads and retro-reflective effects translate a search for cool light.
A softened, refreshed brightness is worked in whitened and washed palettes. On jacquards, coated knits and washed satins, lightened pastel shades infuse materials across the board with a cool feeling.
The need for freshness and lightness also steers developments towards airy structures, with gauze effects, openwork and basketwork, micro-checks, laser cut-outs, and graphic perforations
Materials are fluid and airy, playing with semi-transparency, for functional and graceful developments. So, we see extra-fine shirting fabrics with fresh handles, semi-opaque wool voiles, extra-fine knits closely resembling voiles, and featherweight technical fabrics.
Finally, fabrics look slightly rippled, as if dried in the open air. Shivering seersuckers are interpreted in cool blue tones. Deliberately creased effects, sometimes looking almost pleated, lend movement to plains.
