Gentlewoman style: Ami Paris AW19 womenswear



Ami Paris Aw19 womenswear

Ami Paris is going large on womenswear. For SS20, the French menswear brand just showed a full women’s collection as part of a co-ed runway show in Milan and according to BoF, womenswear actually informed the men’s design for the season too.

Ami Paris has featured womenswear in its collections for a while, but mostly as scaled-down carbon copies of the men’s pieces. While there are some strong looks in the new SS20 collection (like this one), I think I prefer the simplicity of Ami’s classic garconne look. (more…)

On Farfetch, circularity and the business of positivity

Gentlewoman style: Meme Chose shirts



Meme Chose Goodman Shirt

Just clocked this new shirt brand from two former DVF colleagues on Vogue.com. Même Chose is fairly classic, well priced and there’s a shirt named after Tonne Goodman.

The most important thing about shirts is the cut. I love some of the details on these examples but I think the cuts could be a little sharper. For the price though, they’re pretty good. (more…)
