Christophe Lemaire SS14. It's so good I could throw myself out of this building.
I caught this on my lunch break at work yesterday and was in raptures. The styling is so so good, so clean and pared down so it's just about PLEATS and meduses (French for jellies) -inspired sandals and subtle gradations in color and THAT BED is killing me. It's like if Japan and Sweden had a baby and that baby was a lookbook, this is that lookbook baby. Capiche?
Anyway, the pleated high-waisted pant/short-sleeve shirt combo here feels like a more retro (and possibly more French?) take on the silhouette we saw at Assembly last season (look 26, to be exact.) That's pretty much my favorite silhouette right now...or always. And I love that all of this would mix well with my favorites at Marni (and the belts and even the pleats bring to mind one of the looks I loved at Theyskens' Theory, natch.) Oh, also, I quoted the balls out of Lemaire in this essay. Check it out.
