Consisting largely of suede, fur and sequins, I was easily impressed by Maurizio Pecoraro’s FW10 collection. Overall, it was Jackie Kennedy-mod-gypsy-menswear, though far from the schizophrenic collection such a description might suggest; thanks to Pecoraro’s clean aesthetic and keen eye for detail, the lineup was very special, and I loved it.

Rich, heavy and luxe, the collection—to me—was the epitome of fall fashion. I saw a nod to the early-to-mid ’60s throughout, especially in the knee-length skirts, the cardigans, the shift dresses and the pairing of swing coats with three-quarter-length sleeves with full-length gloves.

Most of the garments in the collection had a modesty, a demureness that—today—is not often seen. Clothing was tailored and fitted to the body, yet not body-con, and covered all of the models’ bits and pieces. Updated and modern silhouettes were shown in the form of boot-cut and skinny pants, many of which came in a soft, neutral suede. Shown toward the end of the show were well-tailored, menswear-inspired pieces, including pinstriped pants and classic blazers.

Belts worn at the waist and over shirts or jackets were added for additional finish and flair, as were on-trend turbans. The biggest highlights for me, however, were the furs. Coats, dresses and vests made from Mongolian lamb swept me off my feet.
