Fall Swing Ahead |
|
|
|
|
| |
Imagine sepia-colored foliage in Central Park, frost on the loading docks of the bustling garment district, and warm, roasted chestnuts luring the revelers on Lexington Ave and you’ll have ceremoniously characterized fall past and present. Add to that this season’s worsted wools, supple cashmeres, and hunter plaids (inspired directly by LL Bean’s utilitarian ideology … thank you Ralph Lauren!) and the story starts unfolding. Here PinkMemo takes a moment to survey the scene, scoping out trends like the rustic-chic, curvy, capacious and colorful, along with the designers and shops that are delivering them. |

RARE Vintage
Owner Julia Cairone’s own collection of vintage couture inspired her Midtown store RARE Vintage, which stocks some of the finest original pieces from such notable names as Madame Grés, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Hermes. After noticing that other style aficionados preferred the original silhouettes and styling of these true design originals, she began the search for exclusive pieces to showcase at her shop. Constantly traveling around the globe, she scours the closets and collections of many a stylish maven, finding exceptional, one-of-a-kind twentieth-century couture and ready-to-wear pieces. Being a favorite of some of the swankiest of celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Calista Flockhart only adds to her reputation as having and eye for past perfection.
