This season in fashion, daily wear gears towards flowy silhouettes for comfort, matched with vibrant color palettes to brighten up one’s mood. And we all know how much we need some mood-boosters these days. A wardrobe update is still a great idea no matter what circumstances we are in, and creations from top-notch fashion designers may be all you need to feel a little amped up style-wise. Portuguese style creator Ricardo Preto launches his Woman S/S2020 collection, while Filipino fashion designer Jojie Lloren releases the spring/summer 2020 collection of his RTW brand JILL. 

RICARDO PRETO WOMAN S/S2020

Ricardo Preto has his ways of capturing contemporary women in wearable and comfortable fashion without sacrificing elegance. And this Portuguese designer knows exactly how to add flow to any woman’s style. The new Ricardo Preto Woman collection consists of belted shirtdress, poncho-like blouse with cinch waist, biker jackets, slim-fitting pants, drapey tops, as well as electric-pleated full skirts that will surely provide any woman that effortlessly stylish look.

With asymmetrical and fluid silhouettes, each piece is light and comfortable to wear. The combination of soft structure with a little bit of geometry on each design shapes the style of a modern-day woman. Sober earth tones like mauve and bordeaux are the color palettes of this collection.

The designer’s unique brand of dark, poetic eccentricity is interpreted in floating and dramatic volumes that are injected with asymmetry. Done in either a solid or sheer finish, these pieces are far from basic. Femininity that’s not overly girly, sleek with textural mastery that’s not overwhelming—what more can a chic woman ask for?

JILL BY JOJIE LLOREN S/S 2020

Filipino clothing brand JILL is on the loose, silhouette-wise.

“A great deal of inspiration comes from nature and beautiful sceneries one gets to see in traveling,” Jojie Lloren shares. The brand’s latest spring-summer offerings range from airy oversized blouses and lightweight dresses, high-waist pants with pleated fronts and cinched hems, jumpsuits, and tiered skirts in modern nautical stripes. The sailboat and compass prints bring to mind past and future travels that come with joyful experiences and memories. The understated details and accents of this selection come in the form of knots, drawstrings, unconventional fasteners, and knife pleats.

JILL features a wide selection of pieces impeccably made with luxe fabrics like crisp linen and casual cool cotton, soft knits, slinky jerseys, and airy polyester blends. With easy form and function in mind, every piece in this series is meant to be worn many times over.
