Basso knows how to have fun with his collections and sometimes that means more experimenting than staying safe. For this collection, he did it all.

Young fans of the brand might bristle at the rather sedate sand and cinnamon color palette, while the cut-outs on the asymmetrical gowns and the shorter hemlines on a few of the miniskirts could quite possibly scare off some of those women of a certain age Basso is wont to please. But the designer has a solution at least for the latter: Showing off a sequined minidress with ruffles at the shoulder, he pointed out that it could be ordered at varying hemlines.

The best were the simplest, as some of the fur looks were overwrought — car wash skirts, high slits, crocodile added to broadtail and sable. His lighter touch was more successful, as he also showed some beautiful sable jackets and coats, including an embroidered ermine capelet and a lynx belly wrap.
