A vintage photograph of old fishermen wearing their pants up to here, said Mary-Kate Olsen, her hand positioned at her sternum turned into a key reference point for her and her sister Ashleys beautiful resort collection for The Row. They handled the nautical a common fashion theme with exceptional subtlety and nuance, producing a lineup that was at once full of exquisite speciality and class luxury. There was a quiet wow factor to many of the pieces, such as a new take on a fishermans coat done in canary-yellow leather; riffs on fishermans knits handwoven from luscious yarns into artful knots and fringe on a cropped sweater and skirt; and a leather clutch lined in long-haired alpaca. On the more causal side, the designers showed ultralight denim skirts, wide-leg pants and tops in shades of Japanese indigo that ranged from delicate to deep, and reimagined those ridiculously high-waisted pants from the photo into chic paper bag-waisted skirts. |
