Just Two Looks: Z Zegna Fall 2013

While I don't tend to get overly excited by pieces from Zegna or it's more modern leaning offshoot Z Zegna, I have always respected the quality + craftmanship they deliver. 

However for Fall 2013 Z Zegna designer Paul Surridge created some fascinating looks based on both aesthetic and technical modernity.

This quilted suit was a standout, the subtle texture created by the stitching giving it an eye-catching pop from afar and something you just want to reach out and touch when up close.

 

This standout print was shown in both a black/gray tone as well as with this pop of orange (the color being shown strongly here, as it was seen often in last week London Collection shows).

Two favorites from Milan, and you can see the rest of Surridge's work here at Style.com. Stay tuned while I share some of the best from this week's Paris shows!

Document Case from Pierre Hardy: Things I Want

I've long been a fan of Pierre Hardy -- those hightops with the geometric print keep me mesmerized. And then I've seen sneak peeks at his accessories and found them equally cool. But it wasn't until last week that I realized Barney's carries a number of them.

So now I'm obsessed with getting this side zip portfolio... in red. It's big enough to fit under my arm and carry documents, keys, passport, etc. and definitely makes a statement!

Check it out here on the Barney's site, along with the other Pierre Hardy pieces.
