About the Collection 
The Fall/Winter 2020 collection was a tribute to female creativity, with one muse at the red hot center. Francesca DiMattio, the ceramicist and sculptor, served as primary inspiration for the design team—as well as collaborator. 
In addition to supplying the eleven incredible sculptures that appeared on the runway, DiMattio created patterns that appear on clothing and accessories across the collection.
