It was this thought that the designer of the brand Jennifer Droguett put into the capsule, because the global lockdown and the consequences of the pandemic pushed her to rethink her usual attitudes. The collection turned out to be warm and joyful, the main colors were calm shades of beige, white and olive. Huge puff sleeves, maxi skirts, voluminous shoulders look fresh. A fitted trouser suit with a traditional Colombian print proves that ethnic motifs can highlight current trends.
