In the heady prints of Uma Wang’s Pre-Spring, we find not the romance of the garden, but the subtle drama. The delivery evokes the first buds peeking through damp earth, a signal of the world starting anew. Subtle textures in olive and brown dominate the collection in tones that Uma refers to as artichoke, cocoa and hazel.
Pre-Spring is when designers typically deliver their most wearable pieces. We found this collection, with its inclusion of bold leather boots and square camera bags, fun to style and accessorize— ultimately an invitation to layer the fabrications of its central print in many different ways.
Not to be missed are Uma’s pant designs. This is a category we seek often from her for their distinctive character and quality of wear. In classic trouser shapes and intellectual denim, we find them to be flattering on a wide range of body shapes. Add a pair to your own collection for an instant infusion of cool.
