Black Label Autumn Winter 2010
This season looks to the glamorous party days of late 1970’s New York for inspiration, notably the Gramercy Park social scene and the lavish lifestyles that surrounded it. This bold and opulent aesthetic provides basis for a collection focused on the energy, colour and print of the time.
Soft drape jersey and silk separates are prominent throughout. Highlighting figure and fit, fluid harem pants sit with pleated bodice dresses and tops. Slinky wrap dresses are a day-to-night staple whilst tucked darts, folded shoulders and origami detailing add a more structured edge.
Key tailoring shapes focus on elongated silhouettes with slim, fitted lines in traditional hound’s-tooth and Prince of Wales check wools. Skinny cuff blazers are neat and easy to wear paired with a body contouring knee –length pencil skirt or a pleated trouser.
Wool & cashmere outerwear offers boxy fashion forward styles with fixed bows or fixed scarves that add a feminine edge. Twinkly metallic jacquards, blended checks and Donegal wools emphasize the soft textures in the collection.
