Dear Shaded Viewers,
Belgian designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard presented a polished and technically accomplished collection today. Inspired by a recent trip to Scotland, he gave tartan a fresh spin, offering wide pants and tailored dresses. It was great to see him use black, too, which is not a shade he's normally associated with. There were many pieces to love in this collection, proving his dexterity and flair as a designer.
Best,
Philippe
