DoP Winter 2018

 
They say, Begin as you intend to go on.

 
 
How did we begin the year at Directrice Global Industries Ltd.?

Best foot forward in 2018

 
This dress has a slightly fuller silhouette than my typical DoP selection, but it works because the material is very fluid — a lovely, fine wool draped in an asymmetrical, faux wrap skirt.

Some may think that appropriating the menswear fabrics for women’s clothes and then layering a dress over pants is plenty whimsy, but I say there’s room for more

 
 
This Glen plaid is predominantly white and black — which reads grey, but there are lines of bright blue and sky blue woven in. Can you see them?

Come closer and see the blues.

 
 
Do you see now?
 
Also note frayed armscyes.

  1. Absolutely a hit out of the park including the touch of whimsy yellow bag. It just WORKS. And it really fits within your style history. Keep on truckin’.

  2. I’ve been waiting for a DoP! Whenever you post one, I get the nerve to replicate!
    Lovely dress – the frayed armholes have enough cheek to make it fun. It’s a great outfit!
