This time round, her getaway-ready mini attire have been hand-crocheted in white, and completed in butter-yellow plissés with knotted detailing. Her extra formal creations, like a black Grecian robe with cutouts and brass detailing, retained the enjoyable issue that Cult Gaia customers acknowledge. As typical, equipment have been additionally a focus—particularly the bamboo-style brass detailing she added onto baggage, cuffs, and heels, in a glamorous tackle her love of nature-inspired components. “I needed to create items that ignite dialog and pleasure,” Hekmat famous.
Different choices felt surprisingly sober for the model, which generally exudes a extra joyful spirit.
