designs that blend comfort with architectural volume and intricate proportions.

Finally veteran designer Joeffer Caoc, returns to the runway with a collection that
will celebrate all the label’s expert distinctions – strong feminine details, a modern
and forward colour palette and designs perfectly crafted to the female form.
