Layered

One of my favourite shows from New York Fashion Week was all about layers. Although I love hobo chic (looking at you Mary-Kate), this collection managed to get a bit layer-crazy while achieving that hard-to-get balance between sophisticated and travelling gypsy.

In their first solo woman’s show since debuting in 2005 Rag + Bone presented what Vogue UK called a ‘layered, layered, layered’ look. They gave us all the winter staples: jackets, scarfs and thick socks while still remaining fresh and young. It was, in their own words what you would see on 'Crazy English guys who climbed Mount Everest in the twenties in tweed.' Monochromatic greys, tough girl biker boots, woolly, knee-length socks and three jackets at once? Yes, please.





After squealing with glee at the loveliness of this show I really wish Canberra would make up its mind and be cold. And then I too can be a sophisticated, travelling gypsy woman.
