Design methods extend as a continuation of last season with the marriage of non-contiguous spheres- workwear and evening wear. Hand-dyed treatments embellish tees and blazers; Cuban-link chains and pearl necklaces imprint shadows to decorate in subtly. Athletic details and seams juxtapose pearls, knits, and furs; composing effortless beauty. Backstage, we spoke with Linder’s head of Womenswear to discuss inspiration and secrets behind the collection.

And not just for the sake of it but because of the design team and our differentiated likes. In the beginning, we all throw it in there and see what comes out.; It blends in a way we couldn’t have foreseen.

We folded the arms over and bleached it, so it's the imprint from the arm and the corduroy fabric. I love corduroy; I don’t know why… I just do!

I’m trying to create garments that don’t feel like workout wear but retain all the benefits. We incorporate that feeling because it's not inconsistent to have something that's inspired by athleticism.

In regards to the trail and error of these treatments, I mean, the secret of this collection is that we repurposed old fabrics from past collections. * * * To read our SS19 Q&A with Sam Linder click [here](http://www.flaunt.com/content/ss19-linder-qa-with-sam-linder).
