so, Elizabeth Suzann has turned into a bit of a cult label since i first blogged about her way back in 2013. that’s because Elizabeth is a bit of a genius. her collections just get better and better – i think she might have reached peak awesomeness with FW15. i truly envy those of you going into cooler months, and if you get the chance to wear one of her cosy looking creations i envy you even more.
The soft, organic curves in the sculptures of Louise Bourgeois, the seemingly simple yet captivating vessels by Eva Hesse – these works inspired necklines, silhouettes, draped closures. Some of my favorite artists influenced the fall/winter 2015 collection. Texture fascinated these women, who adeptly created tactile sensation through visual art alone. Texture and fiber were driving forces this season. We wanted to use fabrics that are not only incredibly warm and rich, but that intrigue before you even touch them – sheer wool gauze, chunky rib knit, fuzzy woven wools.
I find that an artist’s wardrobe can be so informative. They are aesthetic and visual individuals that also require practicality and function. Deep pockets, easy layering pieces, heavy-weight wools that can stand up to dead-of-winter cold – this collection is our most versatile yet. Structured and architectural pieces can be dressed down and layered, or worn alone for striking simplicity.
i love the Lena Turtleneck and the Cocoon Coat. there is also a beautiful lookbook featuring Caroline Ventura.
