This set gathers eight everyday looks built around a large square cashmere shawl. Every shawl is pure cashmere, its surface covered in a fine dense nap, its edge finished by hand in a narrow rolled hem. Each one is a different colour and is closed at the chest with its own brooch, folded on the diagonal and laid over both shoulders so that one end falls long and the other stays shorter, both ends dropping below the waist.
Eight shawls, eight pairings. The first is camel, pinned with a gold leaf-shaped brooch, over a cream high-neck fine knit top and a cream knit long skirt. The second is mist grey with a round pearl brooch, over a dark grey silk shirt with a small square collar and a dark grey straight long skirt. The third is lotus pink, held by a floral mother-of-pearl brooch, over an ivory chiffon shirt with a small stand collar and a lotus pink knit half skirt. The fourth is pale grey-blue, with a thin matching satin ribbon knotted small on the shoulder, over a misty blue silk shirt with a pointed collar and a matching misty blue straight long skirt. The fifth is wine red with a silver brooch set with small rhinestones, over a black high-neck fine knit top and a black knit long skirt. The sixth is an oat-grey fine check shawl with a round wooden brooch, over a cream knit vest and a matching cream knit long skirt. The seventh is navy, pinned with a silver star brooch, over an ivory silk shirt with a pointed collar and a black knit straight long skirt. The eighth is off-white, worn with no brooch and no jewellery at all, over a black high-neck fine knit top and a black knit long skirt.
Beneath the skirts the legs are covered in a thin sheer stocking — skin-tone for the camel look, black for the grey, the wine red and the off-white ones, near-white for the lotus pink, light grey for the pale grey-blue and the check, dark grey for the navy. Every pair of shoes is a strappy stiletto: a narrow shoe body, a thin sole and a small toe, a long thin heel, two thin straps around the ankle and a small square metal buckle at the side. Skin-tone for the camel look, black satin for the mist grey, off-white satin for the lotus pink, silver grey for the pale grey-blue, black patent for the wine red, caramel for the check, pointed black for the navy and plain black for the off-white.
What holds the set together is the material. The cashmere is soft and slightly hazy rather than smooth, heavy enough to sit flat on the shoulders and drape in clean folds to the hem. The silk shirts have a quiet, fluid sheen, the chiffon stays light and airy, and the knits — the tops, the vest, the skirts — are fine-gauge and matte with a visible vertical rib. Skirts are straight and plain, fall to mid-calf and move with the step. Brooches are small and matte or faintly bright: a gold leaf, a round pearl, a floral mother-of-pearl, a rhinestone-set silver, a round wooden disc, a silver star. Colours stay muted throughout — camel, grey, pink, blue, wine, oat, navy, off-white — nothing loud, everything built to be worn again tomorrow.
