It was beautiful and controlled and put capes and blanket-coats top
of next season's agenda to provide enough of that intrepid traveller
reference in a city-based modern world. There were wraparound skirts of
khaki and tan and pristine white shirts hidden beneath tuxedo jackets or
capes that sat across the body and which buckled at the shoulder.
Shaggy jackets were bohemian in the well-travelled sense and not over
the top - nothing here was over the top, it was luxe, elegant and
refined with a serenity to it all. Lemaire, five seasons in having
replaced Jean Paul Gaultier, is seriously in his stride.
In grey
and tan, black and bottle green, the colour palette was grown-up and
earthly. High collars were completed with hair tucked in and tomboys
were given a new sophistication - cropped tuxedo jackets worn with
small-heeled boots to straight-leg trousers.
There were scarf
sleeves and robe dresses - that louche lounge appeal working its magic.
And jackets were expressly to be worn perched on the shoulders -
nonchalance personified.
This was the type of lounging one could really get used to.
