Karangahape Rd - Auckland




I love the look of this linen sports jacket - skimming the waist and hips. I like the way she has adapted a masculine staple of the 80s and saved it from connotations of doing coke in the bathroom while Blue Monday pumps on the dancefloor. I also like the way the sleeve grazes below the elbow, showing more wrist than a traditionally proportioned blazer. Combining the garment with looser fit jeans and simple sand shoes is a refreshing change. Look out for this sort of tailoring making a comeback in future collections.
