The Row
CFDA: Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone & The Row
Every year, the Council of Fashion Designers of America publishes a journal to accompany the organization’s annual awards ceremony. For the first time, the images from that publication—featuring ensembles from all of the designers including accessories, womenswear and menswear nominees that came from W Magazine. Here are the next three, so Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone and The Row. Photos by Willy Vanderperre and Lea Colombo.
Alexander Wang is the man who does great accessories according to CFDA. He is the nominee for ACCESSORIES and WOMENSWEAR award of the year! And, well, looking at these boots, I am not amazed with the selection. His AW14 clothes are above.
Rag & Bone by Marcus Wainwright and David Neville is the nominee of MENSWEAR award – they do best, but really best apparel / workwear for men. And I am their victim. I love the attitude that Rag & Bone boys bring to the men fashion… Their AW14 clothes are above.
Olsen sisters are the nominees of ACCESORIES award with their luxurious label The Row. Their bags are classical and made from best quality leather: calfskin, crocodile or python are The Row’s essentials. Their AW14 pieces are above.
Pre – Essentials
Altuzarra – mules, checks and bandana is a lot of a frenchie!
The Pre-Fall 2014 pieces are fastly appearing in the stores, so why not have a look at the new trends closer (ok, we think summer now, but fashion industry is going to tell and what)? The pre-collections are always the ones that stay longer on the shopping racks and are the things you are going to wear the whole season – the AW14 is rather for the show… in my opinion, the thing to invest this time is a turtleneck knit or a chic bandana. Both look gorgeous with a over-sized, geometrical coat or an A skirt. Also, nothing fails like mules or heels with fur: they are everywhere and I love it! Also, voluminous sweaters look so last season with jeans- why not wear a lace skirt a la Jason Wu? Surely this time, the designers presented very mature looks, but I think they don’t give you age (just look at the The Row look-book). It just the matter of how you will wear it!
Ellery – perfect coat with perfect shoes means perfect outfit. Tie that turle round your neck, too!
Atto – A line skirt, tutleneck and comfortable pumps.
Jason Wu – Girly but mature, so an embroidered skirt and a knitted, wool sweater.
Reed Krakoff – a lovely work made for busy days. Love the pony on Reed’s sweatshirt!

The Row – masculine chic at it’s best.
Calvin Klein – Francisco Coasta thought of lazy evenings, so that’s why he offers warm, cozy wool dresses and jumpers that seem to be perfect for a stylish nap.
The Row – again, Olsens nailed it: the coat / cape that is a pure perfection. And that bag, of course.
