A few quick notes on my very first Self-Portrait dress and these clunky Gucci boots.
Out in some current favorite pieces doing my favorites: museums, movies, and food.

Layer up for this transition weather in retro matte gold.
Sans the signature modern elements, an army jacket is not exactly aesthetically progressive. But it’s contemporary in another sense: it's completely unbound and self-sufficient.
A few universal design elements to look for on a timeless piece are monochromes, architectural and ergonomic silhouettes, an easy or even oversized fit, and hints of retro vibes.

Minimalism, the awkwardly abused fashion term now practically girdles everything that lacks flavor, risks being rumored to be the new dull. It is not. It's captivating. And it takes a few more thoughts than just monochrome shades and basic styles to achieve that.
Nothing ultra trendy or cynical but simply aesthetically long-standing and reassuring, essentials like these Kenneth Cole pieces well tolerate manipulating context and personal identity to the garments, a major feat given the current market outlook where individual languages aspire to shape and be heard.
In a time when high fashion elbowed onto street, the idea of occasion became blurred. Versatility is more closely than ever allied with affordability.
