There were airplanes on Dan Lywood"s soundtrack for the Belstaff presentation. Amelia Earhart was a reference, and accents of blue and off-white suggested sky and clouds, but newly appointed women"s creative director Delphine Ninous was insistent that this wasn"t another one of those "daredevils ♥ Belstaff" collections. Instead, she wanted to convey the freedom and independence of the pioneer spirit. "What the modern woman is," Ninous said definitively.?

But for that definition, she"d closed in on the Belstaff man, he who would be Brando or McQueen in his biker, bomber, or peacoat. "The heritage is strong for men, but a woman"s journey is different, more personal," Ninous insisted. So, for all the hand-waxed leathers, aviator jumpsuits, and iconic Roadmasters, there was something gentle inside: maybe a silk blouse, a cosseting shearling, or a fur collar. Combat-booted strength was definitely Ninous" priority—even the knitwear had attitude—but then she used bouclé for coats because it was lighter, easier for a woman"s body. And the coats were reassuringly wrapped, almost like kimonos. It was that kind of touch that spoke to Ninous" track record—most recently at Paul & Joe, but before that at Isabel Marant, where masculine and feminine have synthesized into one of the most successful fashion statements of recent years.Welcome to visit my coach bags outlet store: http://www.coachoutletonline24.us.com

Furniture and clothes aren"t all that different

Furniture and clothes aren"t all that different. We buy them both based on comfort, necessity, and style. One of the main differences between the two is the amount of time you expect them to last. And there begins Patrik Ervell"s Spring 2015 collection thesis.

Ervell borrowed materials from interior design—polyurethane, vinyl, racing leather, and a set that featured a wall of venetian blinds—to create a collection that was minimal, structured, sporty, and classic. "It"s a tricky thing," he said backstage before the show. "How do you make it convincing in menswear? There"s a strangeness to this that kind of makes it like a sculpture on the body."

The clothes didn"t stray from what Ervell does best: sharply cut trousers with slightly oversize, subtly athletic outerwear. Coats were cut with exaggerated venting. Knit jersey pullovers were reminiscent of retro, low-tech North Face pieces. Trenches and macs in a heavy, supple polyurethane fabric with raw hems appeared laser cut. Metallic turquoise shorts and track pants added vivid, industrial color. The final look featured a nearly perfect black calfskin police jacket that Ervell remarked resembles a beautiful car. On the runway it did.

Will any of it last as long as a couch or an armchair? Probably. Whether or not we actually want indestructible clothes—part of the fun is in desiring and acquiring, not just wearing—Ervell makes an important proposition. This is fashion week, after all, and as thousands of looks blur into a season, one must consider how much of what we see will endure.Welcome to visit my coach bags outlet store: http://official.uscoachoutletbags.com
