WHY IT WORKS
The McQueen Top White (cropped, waist-length, scalloped hem) sits at the waist seam as anchor point. The scalloped hem is the one quiet feminine note against the skirt's severity. The Loewe Onda's black patent matches the skirt tonally while the sculptural wedge amplifies its architectural character. The silver buckle is the single hardware moment. Most directional of the four combinations.
THE TENSION
Volume vs. precision; two strong architectural pieces unified by tonal top that does nothing

NotesRisk: two architectural moments coexist because they're tonal and the top does nothing.
