Sanctuary. The Row SS15

The_Row_001_1366

The Row by the Olsen sisters is usually my favourite. But this time, it’s even more than favourite. It’s holy. Presented in a silent, brick loft with wooden floors in SoHO, the models started to emerge in a slow, calm way. Pouring through skylights, the morning sun glinted off the gold basket weave of a loosely tied coat, and shimmered on an organza top that looked as if it might’ve been dipped in tea or sepia-dyed. These were angels? Close. The clothes made from raw silk, crisp cotton, woven tabard finished with fringe… not many New York labels concentrate so much on detailing.

The caftans, peplums, over-sized coats, the robe dresses… it all felt serene, noting the whole collection was kept in gold, creme. brown, black and white colour. Although the fabrics and clothes may sound splendorous, they weren’t even a bit seductive. They were elusive, and simply, minimally, beautiful. Plus, I would love to see these pieces worn on a summer escape- they are loose (but not slouchy), chic (but not elegant). And these wonderful sandals/flats make us drool… this simply is the strongest collection to date.

The V Cut. Wes Gordon SS15

IMG_7404.JPG
For Wes Gordon, the V-cut is a signature. Why? It’s sexy. It’s classy. For SS15, we see plenty of V’s: on the shirts to show off a bit of chest; in dresses, to give the look a leg. Wes, known for ultra-classical collections, did something pretty usual for him. Dresses with lace, femme-fatale look, the Upper East Side Samantha Jones feeling with a classier approach. You can’t really say no to that collection because it’s basically the perfect business woman wardrobe. And those luxe pointy flats are striking. The signature look by Wes is present, and that’s good. Even, if it feels very formal.

Zofia Chylak

Zofia Chylak is smart and romantic, but not at the edge of 19th century, where opulence gets boring. Her designs are modest and simple. And constantly kept in black & white colour palette. In her fashion, Zofia likes the tailorship, tradition and perfection in every piece. Chylak’s recent collection is pretty cold and solemn, but at the same stylish and wearable.
