Good afternoon, Tuesday. It's hot as could be here in the city and I'm happy to be sitting in my a/c, watching Khan get busy on a Kong toy. Bonne rentrée for those of you who are back at it today, and bonjour for those who are putting off re-entering work/life for yet another day or week or so. I'm in the latter camp aussi.
As someone who watches fashion voraciously, I'm seeing a ton of 70s boho on the scene, with great pieces from Chloe, Ulla Johnson, and everyone in between to take us back to my favorite fashion era. But some of it feels a bit too decadent for every day life, and as we go from the easy breezy days of Summer to the comfortable chill of Fall, we need clothes that still have a carefree vibe, but are more about getting comfy with a new vibe.
One of my favorite designers to watch who practices the above look is Anaak (images above), hailing from my hometown of Philadelphia (215!!) and recently discovered on a walk through Bird, a favorite shop in my neighborhood. The line is created by Marissa Maximo, a fashion industry vet and textile maven inspired by global travel. Her pieces are flattering, cool, and well made. I love the use of fabrics like raw silk twill to give an easy feel to her already relaxed silhouettes. She collaborates with female global artisans to source her collections and the result is cool, chic, and bohemian yet spare. I'm already a fan and can't wait to see what she does next.
So as you're thinking of those perfect pieces to take you there (where there is Summer to Fall), check out Anaak and see what you can source. The site shows stockists and lookbooks- check it out and enjoy. Her clothes are the perfect way to hold on to Summer, while moving quietly into Fall.
Cause that's what's up this miniboho/mashup/not sure what to call it kind of Tuesday in the 212. Yours, in stylish (and sleepy) re-entry. XO
