HOUGHTON

That grey wool dress with the oversized camel hair coat?! The coordinating studded skirt and long sleeve cropped top?!  The winter white long hair knit dress?!

If I was attending NYFW in the bitter weather, I think I might like to pack every piece in this collection.   (Minus the furry sandals, plus a good pair of boots.)

Katharine Polk sites Katherine Hepburn and Bianca Jagger as muses for this Houghton collection.

Houghton’s distinctive look merges the finest imported fabrics, precise tailoring and exquisite details with simple, timeless silhouettes. Katharine brings her signature “easy chic” style to the line; the clothes are always wearable and comfortable. 

After checking out their gorgeous website (here), I figured out that they also make possibly the coolest wedding dresses ever seen (here).  One of my favorite people in the world got engaged over the weekend, so B- this link is for you!

WES GORDON

Born in Atlanta, produced in NYC, Wes Gordon is one of my absolute favorite lines right now!

Lovely feminine silhouettes, beautiful luxe fabrics, and best of all... an INSANELY gorgeous color palette! 

Set on the idea of taking part in the transformative power of fashion, Gordon enrolled in the famously competitive Central Saint Martins University of Art and Design in London. Between school semesters, Gordon honed his skills by interning with two industry icons ‐ Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford. 

No wonder.

HELLESSY

Hellessy was started in 2012 by Sylvie Millstein and maintains a strong focus on refined and versatile clothing.

With the founding of HELLESSY, Sylvie melded her multi-cultural background, expertise in high fashion and experience as a design-driven New Yorker, to create a collection of luxurious staples that celebrate independence, intelligence and beauty. The collection is made in America, and integrates impeccable fabrics and detailing with superb fit, precise construction, and wearability.

Quality over quantity, and all that. 

I really admire a well edited closet and a thoughtfully packed suitcase.  There is something impressive about a woman that can make a decision and not need so many options to feel secure.

Know what I mean?
