Designers are looking ahead to fall—and some as far as winter. That includes internationally acclaimed women’s knitwear designer Paula Hian, who has successfully launched a 1980s runway- inspired Fall/Winter 2018 collection at her flagship location in King of Prussia. The designer, who works in conjunction with the same factory as fashion icons Chanel and Hermes, celebrates her love for architecture and her sharp eye for exceptional textiles through a collection that reveals engineered geometric patterns of tweed, raffia and milano. The line is true glam, with pin-tucked shoulders, longer hemlines, dramatic pleating, and daring stripes in unexpected textures.
