heikejarick stands always for her choice in unusual beautiful fabrics and this season there’s no exception. An abstract camouflage print resembles the rippling waves of water. The softness the feminine delicate fabrics are contrasted by two tone patent leather belts in swirl designs.

This season’s collection is based on the return of Romanticism and soft feminine delicacy juxtaposed with sporty elements and sharply tailored suits and pants. The theme of this season involves unconventional ways of rushing, draping, twisting, braiding to re-create a modern renaissance. 3-D flower shapes, abstracted ruffles, and petals whorl on necklines and hems of dresses.

There is a feel of casual romanticism in the color palette. Colors are running from black, eggshell, and saffron to ecru and palm to ravishing brighter shades of fruity reds, oranges.
