Husband-and-wife team Matthew Mellon and Nicole Hanley Mellon looked to Kenya for their first presentation, though without the sartorial clichés that such inspiration could render (i.e., earthy tones, bold patterns).
Instead, they took an abstract approach for their diverse lineup. For instance, they culled the color red from the Masai for a sporty parka, which was teamed with a plaid silk chiffon shirtdress (a pattern that was informed by Scottish trade that traveled through Nairobi) and shorts in the same material.
A chambray group, including a shirt with slim pants shown with a gold cable-knit cardigan was also appealing and could be at home both in and out of Africa.
