Minimal Or Bust

The Seamless Dress

A sleek silhouette in a neutral shade is key for anchoring a minimalist look.

The Collared Shirt

A versatile styling piece, this top pairs perfectly with everything from wide-leg trousers to a silk skirt.

The Silk Skirt

Minimalism isn’t exclusive to menswear-inspired staples: A midi skirt rendered in silk adds a feminine touch.

The Structured Bag

A structured bag in a neutral hue adds depth to a pared-down look.

The Shell Top

A funnel-neck shell is structural yet versatile enough to mix and match with other separates.

The Wide-Leg Trouser

Whether cropped or full-length, an oversized trouser silhouette adds artful dimension to your look.

The Mule

A contemporary spin on the classic style, a cool mule adds a flawless finishing touch to a sleek ensemble.

The Crewneck Sweater

A thin sweater is a key piece for layering in cooler weather—it looks great as a topper for culottes or underneath sculptural dresses.

The Vest

A tailored vest adds instant sophistication when thrown on over a dress, sweater or collared shirt.

The Unembellished Coat

When it comes to coats, an oversized fit with minimal adornment is starkly chic.
