During this time of year, a coat becomes like second skin.
It is now the armour for the deep chill that greets the day and the night with a swift, calculated, hello. It's the first thing that everyone notices. No longer can the summer dress hop and skip and breeze its flimsy song.
I purchased this coat while having brunch in Greenpoint on my last trip to New York. While I had enough items to fill my suitcase, I couldn't pass it up. The structured pattern, the rich, dark colours and the asymmetrical back was just what I needed for the mood of a season that darkens and sheds and gets ready for the bright white.
Stef and I did this shoot a few weeks back and I really trusted her creative spirit by letting her take full control. (Hence the kind of creepy, Vanilla Sky venetian mask she made me put on). While I initially and obviously protested, I realized that a mask conceals yet shows strong details before anyone can see what's underneath. It is just like a coat in that way.
And who am I to get in the way of more coverage?
