20
Hood by Air Fall 2014

37
Rosie Assoulin Fall 2014
“In just three short seasons, Rosie Assoulin has already caught editors’ eyes with her sharp tailoring and fresh, beautifully draped evening wear. Among her fall offerings, I found this daytime ensemble particularly charming: the funnel neck and bracelet-length sleeves on the top give a nod to the Sixties, but when paired with a long, tulip-hemmed skirt, it is 2014 polished ease at its best. Particularly when worn with Superga kicks, as it was shown during the presentation.” – Vanessa Lawrence
38
Zero + Maria Cornejo Fall 2014

41
Tory Burch Fall 2014
“Tory Burch’s ladies dabbled in medieval Russian raiments for fall, with rich tapestry patterns, plenty of fur and gold chain belts. This jeweled sweater, horse-print blouse, and chain-trimmed skirt get an extra kick from thigh-high stockings and some major ear candy.” – Vanessa Lawrence
42
3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2014
“It’s all about the statement coat for fall—especially a colorful patchwork version like this one from 3.1 Phillip Lim.” – Karla Martinez de Salas
43

56

61
Anna Sui Fall 2014
“Anna Sui’s mash-up of silent film, 1920s chinoiserie, Art Deco, and Coco Chanel-inspired tweeds made for a particularly energetic and fun fall romp, as in this blush kimono, paired with a peacock embroidered dress and matching pants.” – Vanessa Lawrence
