McCall not only conveyed her inspirations thoughtfully and precisely, she also mixed this season key trends within this gorgeously cohesive collection - From the likes of sheer fabrics, oversized shapes, pleating, the hue of the moment navy, metallic tweed, flares, trumpet skirts, crop tops and frills. Not only was the collection bursting at the seams with the latest trends but the key looks were utterly jaw dropping. Navy and white cut work illustrated leather shell tops, sheer sunray pleated mini dresses that gracefully fell from the waist, maxi dresses with oversized appliqués, shorts and tunic tops detailed with frills and cut work bodices. Japanese organza and silk was worked in ways that looked like a magician waved a magic wand over the material - Used to create a lightness to the sculptural pieces and transparent layers acted like pretty outer shells - Then balanced with elusive beading or solid luxurious leather. Another stand out was the fluctuation between graphics from the overly pretty to the darker hues that lines were highlighted in contrasting shades of grey, navy, white and orange.
