Something about stripes is both classic and ever-new. Stripes bring a freshness and flair to an outift, especially when combined with all of the exciting color throughout the fashion landscape these days. Joseph Altuzarra, winner of the 2011 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, just designed a stripey collection for J. Crew. Its pieces are inspired by Brigitte Bardot, and they are a fresh take on the nautical look, with a strong Parisian influence. I'm really loving it and coveting a bunch of the pieces he designed. Here are my favorites:
Somehow, these pieces have managed to make stripes sexy (who knew that was possible?) The seven piece collection is available at J. Crew stores now (and online here). Enjoy (and ahoy!)!
Here's to a wonderful week!!
The mariniere look always has to be a summer classic... lets thank Coco Chanel for that one!
