He hinted that the collection will explore “the concept of summer layering” and that his mood board includes “loads of images of people covering themselves from sunlight.” (A California native, he’s more of a sunscreen type.)

“It’s nice to give the men’s and women’s space, and each their own platform to tell a story,” the designer said.
