Doo Ri does many things well, but one thing not seen by other designers who
create under the same genre of draped, languid jersey pieces… she plays
with texture. Her inspiration for this season was elegant haunting movement
of Butoh and poetic motion.

Key words like graceful slouch, elegant ease, slow motion of fabric caught
in flight, tactile envelopment.

What that meant for the audience was sensual asymmetrical waffle stitched
pull overs paired with bone washed silk skirts, high waisted tapered
trousers with twist tops that had angora knit sleeves. Details had a strong
representation of leather and laser cutting which added to the textural
menagerie in which fabrics such as shearling, washed silk, virgin wools and
felted suiting we all used. The color palette was cool tone icy greys mixed
with plum, hunter green and black.

If it was protocol to post an entire run I would cause each piece was that
good and different enough from her other collections to make you want to
make an immediate wish list for both editorial pulls as well as your own
closet.
