While there is no specific theme for this season, the collection is comprised of pieces with futuristic, sculptural forms. The collection also makes use of a variety of motifs, from robots and topographical maps to graphic paintings and the final rose series.

An oversized printed blouson features thick padded sleeves and clear sequins embroidered all over the body. A T-shirt with a different print is coordinated with a trompe l'oeil-style jacket with a zip down the centerline.

Looking closely, the painted-style pieces, in red, turquoise, and yellow, bearing the letters "LV," are very '80s in their colors, but the dropped shoulders and oversized fit give them a contemporary style.

A sequin-embroidered dress with thick interlining in the sleeves is a key look this season. The collection offers an unprecedented variety, including a silicone half coat, a knit with distressed sections embroidered with sequins and baguette beads, and a series of fabrics featuring a rose motif printed on jacquard and foil print. However, by sticking to a futuristic form, the collection conveys a strong message.
