Overview

• The brand staged the presentation in the Portrait Milano courtyard during a rainy week, opting for an outdoor runway that proceeded without showers.
• References to Lola Todd and Jazz Age illustrator John Held Jr. informed slouchy tailoring, drop-waist dresses, speakeasy suiting, and reimagined zoot-suit elements.
• Animal spots appeared as abstract prints and textures such as satin devoré, alongside a broader push into embellishment and print work.
• Accessories took center stage with ribbon-tied heels, new sculptural S heels, ankle chains described by Davis as “fetishistic,” and updated Hug bags in patent, woven leather, nubuck suede, and stamped croc.
• Davis linked his research to historical trade in textiles and leathers from Africa and the Caribbean, and he revived 1998 pieces to spotlight Gancini turn lock clasps.
