Africa like the cradle of the world and foundation of the human conscience is the base of this collection that takes us in a safari searching for adventure on the unknown. The lost Civilization of Ancient Egypt marked by development and wisdom and utilitarian clothing, influence the aesthetics and proportions. Neutral colours decree the beginning of the collection, which passes by a mixture of geometrical patterns and finishes strong with warm tones that heat the season.
