Summer—rather than sex—in the city is what Bite Studios co-founders Veronika Kant and William Lundgren had in mind when designing for spring. There was less tailoring than might be expected for a collection aimed at the working woman, yet a white suit in an organic silk/wool blend fabric, that was a year in development, was spot on. (Note the curved seam of the pants.) 

 The unexpected sheerness of a plaid fabric and the doubling of material on the torso of a shirred-front daffodil yellow dress were examples of how transparency was used to achieve a sense of lightness. The addition of pleats at the top front and back of sleeves created a feeling of forward motion, which, on a terrific black satin trench, was emphasized by extra volume at the back, in a sort of gently tethered superhero’s cape.
