Admittedly,
this is not a collection that I usually follow but desperate times require
desperate measures and that means I am looking at most collections whether
familiar territory or not. Well, here it paid off as I am happy to say that
this is a collection that actually looks like a collection meaning day, cocktail
and evening clothes. Huzzah!

Without even
knowing much about the designer, it was apparent that this is designed by a
designer with a skill set that demonstrates a deep understanding of the past
and present of fashion. In plain words, Mr. Scervino has a respect and depth of
knowledge that spans longer than the 15 minutes which most designers seem to think is
sufficient.

When is the
last time we saw real ensembles ... you remember those... coats and dresses!
Then of course there is the overview of a collection that actually looks as if
it was designed and not punched out by a neophyte design team lead by an
unqualified so called creative director
and all trying to be the latest
and greatest while delivering just another me too collection.

Yes, this is
what fashion was and still can be when collections are executed with deft hand
and a sense of reality that overshadows the popular so called wisdom of a fawning
and uninformed media. Some truly standout pieces such as the leopard coats, the
laces, the suits and coats and yes they are pretty much ageless even though
some may skew to the extremes. For me, I was quite taken by the suitings in
particular a brown heavy tween, the blacks and a few of the herringbone pieces.
As I have said before, imagine clothes that re actually salable and that you
can imagine women wearing ... what a concept!

For a
relatively nascent independent designer business I say KUDOS to you and your
brand of fashion.

PS ... maybe the new trend is no trend!
