Grown woman

MANILA, Philippines - This season’s Vania Romoff woman aims for contrast. An ivory jumpsuit with a surprise train, a strapless top with an asymmetrical hemline that trails down to a gasp -- a trouser in mustard yellow. Vania has long been an advocate of neutrals; and it has served her designs well in seasons’ past, but this collection’s color crossover is a welcome turn for the designer. “It’s all about a casual elegance,” Vania says. “Designs and pieces that exude that airy ease and effortlessness.” Without ever losing sight of her deft feminine touch, Vania explores boxier silhouettes, new trouser lengths, and exaggerated knots -- just the perfect gamine interruptions to keep her growing clientele guessing for what’s next.
