As the autumnal chill sets in,

 a signal that the deep cold of

winter is not far behind,

it is time to consider

an inter-seasonal outerwear option.

…

The requirements:

an on-point, versatile outerwear statement maker

an autumn to winter transitional item

easy to style with other wardrobe pieces

 loose fit for layering choices

 unique details

  options for the ladies and the gents

…

The solution:

Et voila, the sleeveless coat!

Ticking all of the above and more.

Wear it ‘to bare arms’ or with sleeves.

…

A few choices to consider:

Lookbook-back: autumn layering perspectives through the Marni archives

As trees now slowly, gently shed their leaves

layering the ground with shades of

warm autumnal colours,

nature thus signals, with a chill in the air,

that colder weather is set to come.

…

The cooler clime prompts the advent

of one of my favourite fashion looks:

inter-seasonal style.

This summer-transition to-autumn dress

should mimic nature’s own dynamic

response to seasonal change:

rich deep colours, textural interest,

mixed fabrication, asymmetry

and gentle layering.

…

One designer of note

Consuelo Castiglioni

(founder and creative director of the

Italian fashion label Marni)

seems to know instinctively how to create clothing,

which accentuate an ease of change

from summer to autumn wear.

…

(image from vogue.fr):

consuelo co

Founder and Creative Director of Marni

launched in 1994

…

The inter-seasonal look is accomplished with

dress elements from each season incorporating:

colour, form, patterns, prints,

textures, innovation, artistry

all hallmarks signature to Marni designs.

…

In recognition of the label’s 20th anniversary

here’s a Marni look book-back

at a few autumn creations, which captures

the spirit of inter-seasonal style attire.

…

A Look Book-Back

Marni

Autumn Collections

 

…

Inter-seasonal layering:

an inviting visual and tactile mixture

of textures, colours, asymmetry

and as akin to the

unexpectedness of atmospheric shifts:

the look is wonderfully unpredictable.

The sartorial dictates for menswear,  spring 2015

have been confirmed with many looks from which to choose

whatever the style attitude:

daring or demure

reserved or a bit reckless

…

This week Milan, Italy

was the destination on the menswear fashion calender.

Weaving through the fabric of design elements

presented in many of the Milan collections shown,

were a few common threads:

colour, patterns, tailoring, layering.

…

Next week’s fabulous fashion city?  Paris, France.

I can’t wait!
