Celebrating Americana with Woolrich Black Label

I'm not even going to lie - there's a part of me that, sometimes, really wants to be able to pull of some incarnation of preppy, but I'm just not very capable of pulling off wasp. Except, maybe I have found a way? And maybe that way is via the Paula Gerbase designed Fall Winter collection from Woolrich? The presentation for the FW11 collection, held at Eyebeam Studios in Chelsea, was in a dark, almost sultry space - with an ethereal, almost-holographic screen splitting the room in half. Woolrich has a really incredible heritage, and I think Gerbase's direction definitely honors the brand's classic American history, with contemporary twists and embellishments that take this look out of the country club. It's just dark enough that I can see myself wearing a lot of it.

  3. it’s not my cup of thee, but I love the atmosphere and the vibe that they created. The rich fabrics are too rich for me. Although I love an English twist. I adore the knitted sweaters, the patterns look fabulous. The coats look very timeless and stylish, and not to heavy. Thanks for your five leaves tip!!!!!
