A diverse range of items takes center stage, including the designer’s defining sun-bleached garments alongside complex pieces featuring sculptural silhouettes that are created through intricate draping techniques. Moving away from standardized stage uniforms, the garments are deliberately styled to suit each member’s unique individuality.
