Nerhera’s men’s and women’s collections shared the same theme: Daisies, a 1966 Czech New Wave film. “It’s about two main characters who feel that society is corrupted by power and materialism, so they have no obligation to behave properly either,” explained Ladislav Zdút. Their “form of resistance is not following the rules,” which is something it’s almost impossible to imagine the team at this Slovakian brand, known for its easy minimalist designs, doing.

A messy scribble print and some asymmetries were about as rebellious as this collection got, which is fine, as the clothes didn’t need to be so specifically framed. The spring offering was built around slip dresses, one in an airy printed velvet, pants that took on a balloon shape when gathered and snapped at the ankle, and fine pointelle knits. There was a series of looks cut from a beige-and-white pinstripe fabric, and a sharp looking double-breasted overcoat for rainy days. If the collection felt a bit disparate, so are the times; some sharp Nehera tailoring might have provided some ballast here.
