The essentials: Swing coats, fur coats, funnel jackets, three-quarter sleeves, cocktail dresses, pleated gowns, culottes, thigh-high boots, cinch belts, cloches, black leather gloves.

The palette: Black, white, gray, gunmetal, silver.

Bottom line: Inspired by midcentury modern architecture and Helmut Ditsch's glacier paintings, the collection presented an array of minimalist shapes in icy hues. The result was a little uneven; the pleated gowns were the standouts.
