the colenimo fall 2013 collection was inspired by kay petre, a record-breaking motor racing pioneer from 1930’s britain. the inspiration might be a bit specific, but the collection is diverse, including some amazing outerwear like waxed “british millerain” cotton jackets and coats, cotton corduroy over-coats with vintage lining, shetland wool jackets with shearling collars and an ultra soft lamb nappa leather racing jacket. i’ve always loved designer aya’s knack for interesting shapes, particularly in her coats, so this selection has got me swooning. she also included tons of amazing dresses and separates in cotton, silk, angora, and mohair. just the types of materials i’d love to be wearing when the weather gets chilly outside!
