Michael Jackson popularized the little red leather jacket back in the 80′s and we’ve been coveting them ever since. But the key is finding that just-right shade of red, and a cut that works with everyday looks. Nanette Lepore’s Hush Hush Leather Jacket is one of the best red leather jackets we’ve seen in some time, and should be made yours (and ours!) this fall. The merlot color is as lush as the wine itself, and blends right into the mix of standard fall hues. The luxe leather is slightly wrinkled, giving it that favorite, worn-in look. And the cut – oh, the cut! The...  Read More..

Nanette Lepore is known for creating ultrafeminine pieces and her Fall 2009 collection was no different. The designer told media sources that she was inspired by “opulent women who mix and match pieces, travels a lot, collects and keeps clothes and mixes something fabulous with something old and vintage.” In her runway show, it was obvious to see the touches of vintage influences in the fabrics, silhouettes and color choices. But Lepore managed to put a modern glamorous spin on it all. Rich color combinations were utilized – gold metallic accented black, brown and coral tones in...  Read More..
