    Reach for the PS1: Functional, Fashionable, Fearless

    +Put your favorite cold-weather pieces to good use. Your super-soft oversized cardigan may not be as bright as it used to be, but its faded color is a perfect pairing for the PS1 bag’s muted yellow. Add your broken-in skinny jeans and favorite white tank top and you’re ready to run out the door for a mid-day get together with a friend. Pull on your favorite knee-high boots before going out the door and you have a casual, fashion forward look without seeming like you’re trying too hard.

    +Capes are back for another season, so thankfully the perfect one you searched for all last year won’t go to waste after a few short months. A black one goes nicely with the leather accents of the PS1, and a great pair of suede heels are work appropriate and stylish at the same time. A grey or dusty color work dress in a heave fabric like wool will keep you warm, but a pair of black tights should be added on extra chilly days.

    +Fridays are a great time to play with color. A bright jacket in a warm color looks beautiful against straw yellow, and a fun silk blouse that ties in both colors can be worn underneath or by itself. Tone down the shoes with this look, so pull your black pumps out from the back of your closet and slip on your best fitting skinny jeans. Make it through the work day and you’re already dressed for drinks with coworkers when the clock strikes 5.

    +The structure in this bag goes best with a structured black dress. Leave the flowy fabrics in the closet this time, and slip into one that fits your curves in a sophisticated, elegant way.  Suede pumps and black onyx jewelry pair together nicely in an outfit that’s perfect for nonprofit fundraisers and gallery openings.

    + When the weekend comes, it’s time to kick off those stuffy heels and have some serious fun. Wedge booties with buckle details accentuate the detail in the PS1, as does black and gold jewelry. Keep the color palate simple, grey and black, and let your accessories do the talking (though a little skin never hurt anyone).

          Isabel Marant Fall 2011 Goes All-American in Paris

          Isabel Marant Fall 2011 CLOSER Isabel Marant Fall 2011 Goes All American in Paris

          Much like her American counter-parts (Proenza Schouler, Adam Lippes and Cushnie et Ochs), Isabelle Marant took to the  American South West as inspiration for her Fall 2011 Ready-To-Wear Collection. While previous seasons have shown Marant’s girl working surfer and bohemian styles, for Fall, she switched up her game, and came out wearing distressed Navajo print sweaters, patchwork denim button downs, cuffed sweat shirt tops and fringe everything. Of note, fringed wedge-heel boots, which came in neutral, white and black, were worn by all of Marant’s models-a sure retail hit to follow.

          Marant kept the looks young by opting for shorter hemlines and body-hugging silhouettes. She also included her sparkly minis, which were quite similar to the ones carried last season, proving that Marant is well acquainted with the saying “if it aint broke-don’t brake it”. Denim blues, whites, black and grays made up most of the palette, while fringe made up most of the texture. One of the styles worn by Isabella Fontana featured a black fringed blouse paired with dark jeans which were tucked into uber-fringed-over-the-knee boots.

          And while Marant is as French as they came, she continued her American expedition by exploring cow-boys(in this case cow-girl) themed clothing. A definite highlight was Joan Smalls working a denim patchwork button down which was paired with dark blue jeans-and flowing hair. Marant also inserted loads of  white shearling parkas paired with heavy knits and white pants, giving the collection a much needed luxe feel and a break from the other bleak hues.

          While at times some of the outfits seemed too costumey (too much fringe is not always a good thing), Marant continues to flourish as an expert in creating  casual cool outfits for “it girls” everywhere.
