Andrew Gn Autumn and Winter 2006

When the time comes to dress to impress, take your furs out of the fridge and get out the door in a jiffy suiting is always the way to go. Suiting plus fur trim is even better and even more refined. This is what I would like to call a Conservative congregation jacket to be worn at services in London or New York. Yes it is real fur, and sure it might be a little over the top, but trust me when I tell you every wife will be jealous and pounding on their husbands chest saying please, please, please.

Andrew Gn, New With Tags, A/W 2006, Grey tweed blazer trimmed on the collar and cuffs with Grey/silver Chinchilla. Size medium (M). Originally priced at $9368 it is available at DecadesTwo for $3289.

Nina Ricci Fall 2006

As I seem to be posting a lot of black lately, I thought this trench coat, playing with the concepts of volume, ever popular this season, would be a good addition. Really harking back to the silhouettes of the late 50s when women wore coats like this by Dior and other Parisian couturiers over their day dresses, this modern creation is again timeless. The fall of the shoulders softens the female frame while the exaggerated hips add womanly curve to the lady hidden below.

Finished with a bow in front and Greek Vase inspired buttons this trench is magnificent.

Nina Ricci, New With Tags from Fall 2006 collection, a black taffeta trench coat size 38. Originally priced at $2890 it is available from DecadesTwo for $1020.

Lanvin Hiver 2006 Top-Coat

The look of Alber, is so subtle. Captured in this coat is every highwayman nuance morphed into a delicately feminine coat. Worn slightly over sized in a medium weight silk, the fall of the coat is conscious of the body under it and comfortable to wear. Ending just above the knee it is a perfect length to pair with a shorter mini dress or even a full length skirt if you really want to hit the right 19th Century chord.

Lanvin, NWT, Winter 2006, black silk top coat. Originally retailed for $3105 and available at Decades for $1095. It is a size 38. SOLD

Louis Vuitton Spring 2007 part II

The third look down the runway for the Spring 2007 collection from Louis Vuitton, this seer-sucker denim jacket is avant garde and garish. Surely worn to cause a commotion, the over sized poof sleeves hark back to masculine clothing from the 1500s.

If you are a historian you will love this jacket. Corset style on the back and hook and eye closure up the front the jacket is snug, form fitting and has an burlesque feeling to it while introducing the Spanish Conquistador silhouette that is rarely seen any longer.

Even though it has been quite warm here in Los Angeles of late, it is still quite cold around the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. Actually it got cold again in LA today. That said I decided to post this glorious coat which is just perfectly suited to this wintry weather.
