INNOCENCE The quality or state of being simple and sincere:

Cheerful domesticity has been a theme of Batsheva Hay's collections since she founded Batsheva in 2018. Hay began by designing versions of the flounced, floral-printed prairie dresses she wore as a child. Her baby doll silhouette, introduced in 2019 as an abbreviated version of her earliest designs, is now a staple of her collections. Its childlike proportions and pink gingham pattern convey a sense of youthfulness and play.
