If Balance, Chapter One was about striving for equilibrium, Chapter Two is about understanding and embracing that one can rarely achieve it.

During her quest for Balance, designer Kate Halfpenny allowed herself to be swept up in extreme moments of calm and chaos as the pendulum inevitably swung back and forth. In Chapter Two, serenity and order is personified in crisp tailoring, structure, and graphic lines, while chaos is playfully revealed in decadent, 3d floral accents, exaggerated volume, and sheer, liquid-like tulles which flow like water. Throughout the design process, Kate found that when pairing those opposing elements together, rather than cancelling each other out, the combination of the two extremes became greater than the sum of its parts. This alchemy inspired a magical collection to challenge and delight a new generation of Halfpenny London brides.
