The collection is artfully merchandised to suit the “needs” and wants of women who search for real clothes to wear in the city, at the beach, on vacation, as a wedding guest or to a cocktail party… if those still exist.

Colorful, crisp and filled with prints all sewn into easy to understand and wearable clothes... Imagine that!! A dress or a skirt and shirt and sleeve details, beautiful embroideries and embellishment and a favorite of mine polka dots! Anderson even tackled the deadly cotton dress with great élan and skill. The striped cottons are as chic and urbane as their cocktail and evening counterparts. Take note of the play on volumes that he so deftly makes use of… from slim to seemingly inflated without looking clownish.
