To me, Ports 1961 is a very old-school American sportswear brand, aimed at older women. By looking at this collection, I can see it hasn’t changed its target, but suddenly the clothing looks very desirable and modern. This is a collection that would work on women of all ages, and it looks fantastic. But I am very upset that Style.com didn’t show any detail shots for this show, because my friend Julia Lundsten, who is the genius behind one of my favourite footwear brands Finsk, designs all their footwear. Its a shame I can’t see any of the shoes properly.
I Love…
this beautifully cut trench coat with the contrasting details.
creams and whites for winter, and "wrap-me-up" knit dress coats.
this models hair. She looks amazing, the whole look does. And I love this oversized dress.
the colours, the draped coat, and the mix of textures.
I Loathe…
this silly "utilitarian" jumpsuit. It was all going so well until this came out.
another failed jumpsuit, this time totally unflattering in printed satin.
