'The Beauty of the Almost" explores the contrast between the imagined and the real. One major inspiration for the collection has been the filmography of Eric Rohmer: their mise-en-scène with the muted yet juicy colours and well-worn, simple clothes, natural acting style and lengthy conversations. Rohmer perfectly captures the hopes, desires and failures that construct the essence of our daily lives – how the things we say so often differs from the things we do.
