Id love to see the front of this outfit! Did you get a shot of it? The structured coat is beautiful, the texture a standout! She looks like an elegant spider!
I love the volume and the sleek texture, but the best part is the casual route she took by pairing such an eccentric piece with those flat, almost masculine shoes. Imagine what a different look it would be with heels…
A pear on toothpicks, all painted black. Sorry, but I can’t get that immage out of my head. I’m a big fan of proportion and balance, and this, malheuresement, aint it.
quel formidable!!!!!! a fascinating fetish of elizabethan glamour and futuristic pretension…in the best of ways. i would wear this gorgeous coat in a heartbeat.
At the risk of getting hacked: but did anyone else get the ‘Witch of the wild west’ feel frm this look. Especially with the coat’s colllar and the blonde hair peeking through. Although, rock ‘n roll Marie Antoinette is also a good description.
I like the shape – it’s daring, but I like it – but not the texture. The leather makes the whole thing veer too far into costume/fetish-wear for my tastes.
Ah….the sweet, smell of perfume! Today’s market is flooded with hundreds and hundreds of different fragrances ranging from floral to woodsy. Most women love the smell of perfume, wearing it even when going to the grocery store. The problem is that perfume allergy for some women, is anything but nice.

The only Vogue editor without style is Alexandra Shulman from British Vogue. My rankings are Carine then Anna then Franca.

I so love this coat, looks like art work, chiseled out of black granite. Check the lights and shadows on the pleats.

It’s shearling – the unfinished edge takes it away from being ‘precious.’

It’s an Azzedine Alaia coat…I saw the same sillouette but in wool at Barneys a few weeks ago and a part of me is still there admiring it.
