The Tamesis
The long absence of winter on the East Coast became the reason for the season. Heirlome’s Stephanie Suberville’s starting point is to dress for the cold. “I think part of it was because the weather was so bad, people really put a lot of thought into wearability and functionality,” the designer said. Superville didn’t skimp on the idea of comfort, though: She cut a double-breasted coat from the softest camel hair to make it long and form-fitting. Drawstring funnel-neck jacket in wool-cotton with a water-repellent finish.
The focus for fall is on daytime pieces, which reflects how Suberville designs the clothes she wants to wear. These include terry textures, fringing on the collars of slim blazers and deep fringing on the hems of crop tops and long capes. A similar-length top was cut to flare out at the back, one in paper-thin leather.
Suberville continued his research on folding technology and applied it to a pair of Japanese-style trousers. Another point of consistency was her collaboration with printmakers: This season it was Mexican artist Angelica Morelos who created conversational prints and Suberville transformed them into jacquard geometric patterns.
One of the season’s strongest pieces is the evening jersey selection, which includes a draped gown with a built-in bandeau and a two-piece suit with a lampshade-shaped skirt.
