We have been so excited for the Joseph Fall collection ever since we wrote the order way back in February. As everyone knows, Joseph is a UK-based company; they started as a boutique in the 70's, expanded into their own ready-to-wear line, and then proceeded to rule our worlds. More recently, they have been taking a page from the French book - the creative director had been previously employed at Colette - and are using the styling talents of some of the French Vogue staff. Not surprising at all when you see this collection! It has a very polished bad-girl sort of thing that makes a lot of sense when you spend a bit of time in Paris. Nothing too try hard or obvious, something a bit messy, but you can tell the thought and quality is all there. And perfectly feminine, but never too proper. I really can't imagine anything more perfect.
The double face cashmere/wool blend coats are something we really love - enough fluidity to feel like a knit, but enough tailoring to feel like you will stay warm. A great material for travelling, and for a busy running around lifestyle.
I think this 70's a-line skirt is positively incredible - it has this dramatic slit up the front that I am loving with tights and these slouchy Sartore high heel boots. Such a strong look for this season!!
Nobody really understands that these are the most amazing pants on earth. They are from the Forte.Forte delivery the week before, but for some reason they are still here. They are the ultimate pant: cool, uncontrived, beautifully made, and damned comfortable. This is how we think the menswear coat looks really cool: back to really laid back pieces that highlight the high/low mix that makes the fashion world truly interesting right now.
The leather leggings - back to what we love: big sweaters! This colour-blocked mohair version is out of this world.
