This season takes the modern clothing philosophy of "exquisite soft urban silhouette" as the core, from wool, corduroy to new brushed cashmere, deliberately breaking away from the heavy impression of autumn and winter clothing. The wool-blend Harrington jacket re-adjusts the classic proportions with a three-dimensional short version, and the soft material retains a clear shoulder line; the new 100% brushed cashmere series amplifies the luster and airiness through the plush texture. Whether it is a V-neck, high-neck or cardigan style, it adds a boutique-like delicate layer to the basic knitting; the corduroy trousers subvert the heavy impression, using light and smooth balloon drape lines to create a calm posture. Proportion alone can create a sense of luxury.
