These fashions from Gaetano Navarra make me want to gush over the luxurious design. This [couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-collection-2) reminds me of the '30's and 40's as they blend [romanticism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection) with a sense of aloofness.

The plum mini with sequins is offset by a braid of yarn which also is picked up on the sleeves. A dress that looks like a windbreaker is gathered at the cuffs and hem with laces but the slim waistline is accented. A [cashmere coat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey) plays with a flirty little skirt.

The collection is dominated by a palette of grey and hazel, black and white and animal prints.
