TOP INSTA LOOK: Slouchy grey beanies, oversized leather belts and oversized sweats gave the feminine collection a hint of athletic influence, which made the suite of wearable separates a viable wardrobe option for fall.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Oribe Educator and lead stylist Kien Hoang created face-and-neck framing inverted braids to match the show’s fresh, youthful vibe, while red lips added a vampy vibe to the lineup.
OFF PROBATION: A slouchy oversized peach hoodie, worn over a green, floral print lace dress and lace leggings, a look easily elevated with a dose of street style edge via the addition of a pair of limited edition Golden Goose crystal embellished sneakers.
GOOD BEHAVIOUR BOND: A strappy peach v-neck knit, worn with paisley print silk pants featuring an oversized bow at the cinched waist, which marked one in a series of Tibi-esque looks featured throughout the collection.
INSPIRED BY: The designer’s piqued interest in the concept of ‘self-management’ played out again in her latest collection, this time centering around the multitude of competing roles women are expected to play in the fast-paced world today. An ode to capturing life’s wilderness and independence through the power of fashion, the show played out like the traveling wardrobe for your next whirlwind vacation to a period castle in the Cotswolds.
POP CULTURE-NOD: Downtown Abbey star Michelle Dockery joining her series’ colleagues on the red carpet at London’s Richmond Theatre to receive an award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
WEAR IT TO: Your Amish cousin’s wedding at Hotel Lenhart in Chautauqua County, Upstate New York, where you haven’t been back to visit since leaving for the big smoke during Rumspringa.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “If you want you can hang out at the back of the line near the toilets where it might be cooler.” – Overheard from the PR team amid the stifling heat in line before the show.
SPOTTED: Ana Kras, Daphne Javitch, Camila Deterre, Caroline Issa.
COLOR WHEEL: Pastel pink, camel, tan, black, grey, white, red, green, coral.
THE DOCKET: Delivering a series of risqué off-duty art teacher looks in paisley, lace and denim, designer Mona Kowalska crafted an array of hybrid sporty-elegant getups befitting of the offspring of the cast of Downtown Abbey. Think Jane Eyre meets Gwyneth Paltrow trying to mimic Sienna Miller’s signature bohemian vibe.
