W’s fashion market and accessories director is on the hunt for what’s next.
The term “modern” gets tossed around a lot. But what truly feels “now” to me are clothes that work overtime in my hectic city life: on designer appointments, in the subway, sprawled on the floor for a fitting, and out for dinner. For fall, Paco Rabanne’s talented new designer Julien Dossena sent out tailored trousers and sporty zippered jackets that have a sleek, kinetic quality. And these shiny Diesel PVC pants, with their graphic stripes of color across the hips, are one of my favorite pieces of the season. They would have been perfect for a recent trip to Mexico City, where I explored the new Jumex and Soumaya museums. The architecture of those buildings is a marriage of form and function, to which I can really relate!
