Little ole Edie Beale never ceases to inspire and amuse. You cannot do the head scarf and the black-tights-I’m-not-wearing-pants look without admitting your source. (If you have not seen Grey Gardens, put it on your Netflix queue right now!). I am happy to see Stefano Pilati going back to the classic in this collection, although the all gray and black palette makes me think of the winter that I want to end right now. A little color for the cold weather doesn’t hurt anyone. I appreciate the not so tight silhouette for us regular women who weigh in the 3 digits, but some pieces like the knotted fur, although interesting, is so bulky! I can’t imagine not looking like you’re wearing a sleeping bag in it. The bag collection is also very classic and I am in love with the bare detail croc in the most ladylike shape. The leather collection is shown open on the runway but on the streets, the simple classic will be neatly tucked away on the arms of uptown ladies.
One word… YUM!
Its pretty, but I like the Downtown better, especially in lilac. Its actually quite reasonably priced for a bag of its size.
