WHY IT WORKS

The Loewe Top (ivory, boxy crop, point collar, bow-tied sleeves) adds a sculptural bow that sits in interesting conversation with the skirt's pleating — both sculptural but in different registers (soft vs. rigid). Ivory top, black skirt, black shoe — cool, graphic, precise. The bow on the sleeve is the only softness, preventing severity. Most editorial combination.

THE TENSION

Entirely architectural and directional; bow on sleeve is sole softness preventing severity
