Shape, volume and Chinami's trademark impeccable construction were all played with deftly to give the pieces an engaging appeal without crossing over into the over-worked category.

Featherweight outerwear pieces which served as a neutral base to the more intricately detailed skirts, dresses and tops, were woven through the collection showcasing the designer's ability to balance  intense creativity with self restraint.
