STYLES IN THIS LOOK
CARLISLE | CATALOG | FALL 2024 - Page 50
Drawing inspiration from the stark, modernist furniture designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the exquisite silver jewelry of Charles Ashbee, this collection emphasizes meticulous artistry and high-quality materials. Expert tailoring exalts the Italian pinstriped twill blazer and cuffed pants named for the Mackintosh, and graced with bias-cut panels that create exciting visual architecture. The waistband has a cheeky notch akin to the notched lapels that reads as a delightful departure from expectations. The diametric opposite of the suiting is this bow blouse, reflecting the Pure Romantic backdrop of 19th-century England. Inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, this stretch silk crêpe de chine top features an intensely intricate border print of stylized flowers in sixteen colors worthy of WIlliam Morris. It pays homage to the era's romantic spirit, in which nature and legend intertwine. This posh trio returns the fashion world to quality craftsmanship, design integrity, and permanence.
