Just as much fun was veteran Vass, who also showed a terrific collection: the multicolor tweed hand-knit coat with fox collar, gray ottoman drawstring trousers, multicolor tweed basket sweater and coordinating hand-knit hat; the claret cashmere hooded sweater with multi-herringbone long bias skirt; the taupe boucle hand-knit balaclava sweater, taupe zip-front skirt and brown boucle "christopher robin" hat.
