Had truly missed the excitement of doing a runway show last year,” the designers said in a statement.
The palette included shades of English rose pink, muted ivory, deep powder blue and moved to emerald, dusty mint, orchid, pearl, cannoli-cream, olive to finally end with sage, sky, lunar grey and midnight blue.
