The North Face Jackor “It’s like a negative embroidery, each thread is teased by hand,” explained Hernandez of the technique that became last season’s big hit. The previous spring’s silvery sunray-pleated skirts were recast in a lightweight knit—perfect for layering (successfully shown under a linear back-button crew-neck dress). And fangirls of the slouchy PS1 satchel will no doubt fall for the new slouchy Kent bag in crocodile, and a fetching flat black suede purse.Long and lean was the overriding message, or “lanky” as the designers jested—over-printed check coats, plunging V-neck mélange cable knits, and skinny tweed track-pants (the perfect foil to the Maurice Sendak chocolate shearling parka—a wildly luxurious proposition). Even the glacially elegant tea dresses and printed separates skimmed the body to a streamlined effect. Polished to perfection, gentlemen.
