- Architecture and clarity of lines: Rejection of shapelessness in favor of rigid shoulder girdles and neat fixation at the waist.
- Textured contrast: A combination of smooth leather, thick denim, textured tweed and soft cashmere in one set.
- Base plus accent color:Use deep chocolate and olive as a base with the addition of wine or cream accents.
