Sorronda made her models stood up on blocks like mannequins and model the clothes that give an intimate view of the collection. She used bright colors with bold shapes like circles and stripes. Elements of quirkiness, comfort and unique character are predominant in most of her designs. The designer also offered black and white designs, which gives off the sense of strength and elegance. Modern cuts and designs such as floor length trousers, baby doll style tops and dresses, peplum tops and fitted dresses dominate the black and white collection.
