For spring, designer Ece Ege created depth and interest from the opening look for the Dice Kayek spring 2016 couture collection.  The first to exit — a double-breasted coatdress in pale pink with a Fifties frame color and elongated flap pockets — stood out for its simplicity and carefully sculpted bottom.

Ege said she took inspiration from fairy tales, her favorite type of literature — “Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan,” helping “Little Red Riding Hood” into a carefully constructed cropped top with maxi puff sleeves and extra-bouncy skirt, both done in bonded wool.
