It’s always great to walk into Nellie Partow’s studio and spot a bit of funky metallic hanging on the racks—a classic knitted sweater and a matching pleated skirt in a groovy silver. This time around, it ended up being hand-painted, which gave it a slightly crisp texture on the outside, while remaining soft to the touch inside. (And you can just hand wash and lay it flat to dry!)
But the real story at Partow this season was her tailoring: a structured bonded cotton jacket with just the tiniest bit of a cinched waist and beautiful darts that added a little bit of drama while being perfectly tailored for the everyday, paired with delightfully ’90s flat front trousers with the slightest boot-cut leg (you know the kind). Meanwhile, she took the bonded cotton that she usually uses on her trench coats and cut a pair of pleated straight leg trousers; they really held their shape, and had a bit of a punk edge. Bold cotton poplin shirting rounded out the lineup, with a two-tone bib cropped shirt, and a matching shirt and trouser set adding a nice touch of fun.
