Dear Shaded Viewers,
Samira Algoe's vision at ZEM is becoming more seductive each season. Her newest collection focuses on light, contrasting materials and a soft -yet graphic- spirit. She mixed pastel colours nonchalantly and played with proportions, too. In fact, some of the outfits reminded me of Tadzio in Visconti's Death in Venice, fragile and masculine at the same time.
ZEM's take on the suit is young and unconventional. I loved this two-tone tailored jacket, which was worn with white shorts.
Best,
Philippe
