GREEN

GREY
S/S 17 moves away from green-cast greys towards cleaner, lunar-like shades. A/W 17/18 continues this message, but explores more saturated
and urban tones, with powdered and chalky hues being essential. For S/S 18, the focus turns to the tones of Graphite and Smoke, which give
grey a sense of depth and versatility for the season.
