We are in love with this
J. Mendel collection!


An opening white look has been prevalent at a number of shows in New York, but at J. Mendel, the snow white-fur coat, worn with white Manolo Blahnik booties, set the tone for the rest of the collection: uptown elegance meets downtown chic. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, in the front row, certainly seemed happy. Inspired by a Vogue fashion story shot by Helmut Newtown at the Sagrada Famili cathedral in Barelona, Mendel’s collection was a beautiful meld of translucency—at times a bit risqué give the see-thru nature of the floor-length sheer pleated dresses. To help hide all the transparency, a series of coats were a testament to his ethos; but if you get one thing from Mendel for fall, let it be one of his solid coats. Might I suggest his nip-waisted paneled shearling coat?

At the 2011 CFDA Awards, Ashley Olsen wore a custom blue dress by The Row and Mary-Kate Olsen wore a sequin embroidered jacket from the Chanel Paris-Byzance Collection and black skirt by The Row. Both ladies carried handbags from their new collection by The Row.

At Americana, The Row can be found at Hirshleifers.
