Rag & Bone, Women’s
David Neville and Marcus Wainwright’s first solo foray into women’s—specifically, opting to showcase their men’s line in a separate show—further proved their depth as designers and contributed to what has been an initial strong showing by the American designers. Held in an expansive SoHo loft just steps from their Manhattan shop, every cool girl and guy’s weekend brand has evolved and matured. In what was easily their strongest collection to date, they upped the ante on the territory they have long laid claim to—those quintessentially cool separates—but layering on the accessories and emitting plenty of attitude. Forest green Harris Tweed jackets, cuffed shorts, sweater dresses and shearling bombers jackets were edited perfectly with stack-heel hiking boots and oversized knit sacks, but just to name a few accessories. Backstage they explained they took their inspiration from “crazy English guys climbing Mount Everest in the twenties in tweed.” If only such real conditions would afford climbers the chance to wear such pieces as a grey plaid tuxedo blazer, Londsdale knitted waist coast or mini kilt. Camouflage was plenty on display here—and in the most conspicuous ways, most notably on Tatyana, whose Duke anorak, what with its combo camo-plaid motif, was most chic.
