This dichotomy of design is mirrored by the juxtaposition of fabric textures; lush, soft wool jerseys, velvet, and hammered metal satin is set against dark lux wool suiting.  Faux fur and vivid wolf-fur prints further recall the wild, animalistic characteristics emblematic of the warrior. The color palette embodies the mood with deep tones of onyx, arbor, pine, mud, sangre, and skin.
