Just in time for our favorite season, our favorite Latvian designer stuns once again with her latest collection. Inspired by women's movements and voices of progressive people around the world, the A/W 17-18 pieces exude boldness, sophistication and femininity. We also love this subtly militant campaign which showcases strong women and pushes gender norms.

Along with the always present, black, this season's palate takes brighter steps using luscious reds and blues with white and olive rounding things out. Ms. Gutmane makes no mistake in letting us know that the collection is very "Female Dominated", but we also appreciate the masculine shapes and garments which look great in exaggerated shapes like the big shouldered trench coat.
The 80s/90s VHS theme of the campaign also strikes a nice chord as it adds to the serious, yet playful moods of the collection. Overall the collection carries a very triumphant appeal which is much needed during these times.
Another fantastic display of concept and craftsmanship from Keta Gutmane. Please visit www.ketagutmane.com for more.
