Following the theme of "Empty West" (西無), the collection interprets the concept of nothingness in design, coming across almost as a collision of New York and Hangzhou.

Heavy on 1980s-style nautical elements, the collection combines subtle nude tones, mellow pinks and rich blues, with floral and lace accents, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the season.
