Ricardo Dourado is a designer whom I've written about before but he is quite an elusive fellow to keep track of and get information on. Luckily he emailed me about his latest collection, and whilst I have no information about his inspiration etc, I will offer up my own opinion and say that this is perhaps his most relaxed collection to date with jersey, acid wash, zips and cutaways. It's very youthful and exceptionally wearable.
The slightly washed out colour on some pieces make them look loved and well worn.
The grey zip and cutout dress at the bottom is of course my favourite item in the collection - ripe for layering over all manner of sheer or lace garments.

I love the long denim washed tuxedo. I want something similar to that.
