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?
