The collection was largely made up of sheer, second-skin dresses, halter-neck bra tops, and sinuous pencil skirts with hip-flashing cut-outs and big, bodacious ruffles. Lilac pastels, zingy citruses, and wipe clean blacks cleared the way for sunset degradés emblazoned across gathered pants and serpentine swimwear – a new, but surely failsafe, category for the brand. The idea, Manas said backstage, was to replace the idea of the “beach body” with a “sunset body”, something which isn’t dependent on a woman’s physical outlines but on how good she feels after a day of sand and sea.
