Ever something new to learn about fashion while passing through one of my favorite installation areas.

JEANNE DE ST MARTIN

Mademoiselle créatrice et directrice brushes her hair from her eyes. She prefers an image in action. The brand Jeanne de St Martin revisits the feminin in her line of Women’s (costumes) suits: “Imagine the young, sassy New Yorker in the 70s, a spirit with dreams of freedom of comfort, softness and modernity.”

This 2016/17 collection exalts wool and cashmere as the metamorphosis of a modern woman evolved from a day in which fine fabrics and male tailors dominated the working corporate ‘costume.’

I actually am going to look for one of her costumes for myself.

Out of Interest, London and Hong Kong is inspired by feminity, versatility and artistic vision and is destined to make a mark. As indicated by the following sparkly reminder:

AKHAL TEKÈ

Again, the final touches are in the feet.  This unique, Italian, hand-made and embroidered classic slip-on with rubber-sole bottom called after the Turkmen horse, an ancient breed native to Central Asia. Traditionally raised by the Teke tribe, the horse owes its name to the oasis of Akhal-Teke. It is noted for speed, endurance with a thin and athletic appearance, and is noted for its golden hues. It almost became extinct in the 1950s.
