The brand delivers a slew of sleek looks that are elegant, full of textural looks, and it is all inspired by the classic play known as 'The Cherry Orchard.' It is written by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, set in 20th century Russia. This was a time that the country was experiencing many socio-economic shifts as the middle class rose, the aristocracy fell, and the abolition of serfdom. In terms of fashion designs, there are modern shapes that are made to be oversized, created using intricate fabrication. This includes jacquard wool fabrication along with [knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits), all of which are done in an [autumn-themed color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter).
