Coated Leather

To us, the words "patent leather" evoke images of 90's thick, stiff, black patent mary janes. Fortunately for us in 2015, patent has evolved to mean a softer, more pliable, textured version of the material.  We're referring to the updated version as "coated leather" to differentiate between the two styles. While the majority of designers showed their styles in a "marsala" or oxblood color, we expect to see the fabrication expand to include a much more varied palette.

Take the Plunge

Time to start hoarding double-sided tape; extreme v's are back!

Strategic Placement

One thing we really love about fashion is when people run with the fun aspect of it. That's why we were delighted to see the Spring 2015 runways full of cheeky placements of patches, pockets, and appliques. It's nice when fashion doesn't take itself too seriously, so while we personally don't have the guts to rock these styles, we give major props to those who do!

Gingham Style

Gingham is one of our personal favorites. From Dorothy and Mary Ann, to Brigitte, some of our favorite ladies have helped to solidify this fabric as a timeless classic. This season, the look is mostly cleaned up, with the best versions coming in fuss-free silhouettes, like the DVF and Oscar de la Renta versions below.
