For those coats and knits I’ve been looking for this whole winter and you have to love the Ashish AW10 collection at least of because of the sequin pyjama. In combination with the sunglasses it has this fantastic mood of movies I can’t name right now.
Chic is always a product of intelligent (or just damn good looking) contrasts to me. Ashish prooves that the combination of sequins, thick wool, grey oversize tweed, beanies, long braids and boots is often much more sexy than a little dress and high heels.
