Dominating the second-floor salon of his Madison Avenue flagship, the line is full of ballet pink and black, not to mention lightweight materials, form-fitting silhouettes and the occasional beret.

From cashmere wrap tops and fluttery georgette skirts to blazerss and second-skin turtlenecks, there are nevertheless two different looks in the collection.
