COACH 1941 RESORT 2017
Stuart Vevers of Coach 1941 produced a charming, rebel resort collection brimming with moto references fused with college sportswear. Luxe leather took centre stage oozing with attitude.
Estonian model Harleth Kuusik modelled a tomato red, boxy, leather, bomber jacket with quilted shoulder inserts, undulating contrast black panelling on the decolletage and asymmetrical zip pockets for the added cool factor. The Americana derived western jacket was paired to a high waisted, thigh grazing pencil skirt featuring heavy duty centre zip. A stud and grommet infested leather belt drew in the waist. A feminine, high neck, ruffle blouse starred in a refined leopard print. Heavy duty, platform moto boots complete with candy apple red leopard inserts evoked nineties style connotations. Accessories comprised of leather grommet wristlets layered to a chain and pearl bracelet. Oversized, silver baubles adorned fingers as Kuusik carried a colossal, pebbled leather tote complete with shoulder strap, dog tags and caricature motif of a figure executing his need for speed on his motorbike.
A brazen, gargantuan leopard print coat was a statement making addition. A petal pink, sixties derived western silk shirt was finalised with black piping and paired underneath the winter warmer essential. Remodelled cowboy boots consisted of pointy toe, copious buckles and a centre zip toughened the arabesque adding masculinity to the equation. A blush and avocado envelope satchel was highlighted by embroided stars and a rocket. A ladylike chain handle concluded the sassy ensemble.
Vevers remastered his highly desired floral dresses from previous seasons, this time comprising of short sleeves, drawstring round neck, flounce hem in a collage of dainty, delicate florals in shades of lemon curd, grass green and ballet pink twinned to undulating panels of vermilion leopard print. An ebony leather boxing belt with bold cherry blanket stitching attenuated the waist. Bohemian grunge elements reigning supreme.
Polished panache dominated on a boiled wool, sloping shoulder, cape coat. The turtleneck design starred leather strap and buckle closure. A cosy camel relaxed ribbed knit and oxblood panelled a-line leather mini concluded the chic number. A leather Greek fisherman cap featured an embellished band which was frequented by studs, beads and floral metal motifs bringing the bling factor. Patent claret ankle boots ignited the fashion forward combo.
An emerald, shrunken, satin college bomber jacket with skull and cross bone kitsch iron on transfer was pared back to a paisley floral blouse worn tucked into ultra high, form fitting leather Capri pants. Bone cat eye wayfarers and a greige tote with sports car print finalised the outfit.
Other standouts included a sumptuous desert sand suede pinafore in a relaxed boxy silhouette. An ivory embroidered yoke blouse and scalloped collar exuded insouciance. An eggplant, soft, tomboy leather moto jacket screamed of nonchalance.
Biker chic fused with varsity sportswear resulting in a retro inspired collection for the young at heart, born to be wild.
