Byte Studio co-founders Veronica Kant and William Lundgren had summer in mind rather than sex in the city when designing for spring. There was less tailoring than expected in a collection aimed at working women, yet a white suit in an organic silk/wool blend fabric, a year in development, was spot on. (Note the curved seams of the pants.)
The unexpected softness of the plaid fabric and the doubling of material on the torso of the shirred-front daffodil yellow dress were examples of how transparency was used to achieve a sense of lightness. Adding pleats at the top of the front and back of the sleeves created a sense of forward movement, which was emphasized by extra volume at the back, over a funky black satin trench, in a sort of softly tied superhero’s cape.
