in unison.

one of the most inspiring things that i've experienced recently was in mea shearim, israel- a town of just hacidic jews. the air was very heavy and serious. to even be in the town, as a woman, you had to cover yourself from head to foot- not to be stoned or spit at. but amidst the restricted, almost hostile air, there was something incredibly chic i felt. it felt to me that i was in a live ann demeulemeester fashion show. the men were dressed so- chic. one young boy i still remember, had his trousers a little above the ankle, showing his lightly wrinkled black socks and topped with an impeccable black coat that swung swiftly as he walked down the cobble street road. the idea of conservative chic is so classic. from classic, you can play with accessorizing. for instance, the men, under their coats, wore almost like a poncho like garment with long fringes showing subtly as they walked... isn't that the trend we are seeing now? absolutely! the classic, perfect silhouettes with unfinished, raw details to hush the perfection to easy ready to wear garments. the impact is stronger when a group wears the same uniform. gliding along the streets as if it's a movie..
truly inspiring.
