Italian - Circa.Late.1970s.

Armani is the man that took the stuffing out of tailoring, which made us all walk taller and look and feel sexier. Now that is what we call a great fashion moment. It drapes the body and gives it a totally different shape from any thing that has structure. Elegant sensual comfort is what Armani will always be about, try it we promise you will like.

Frockology Style Tip:
When wearing anything unstructured remember your posture, stand tall otherwise you will have a tendency to look heavy and that is not the ideal. When making a vintage garment modern, the best idea is to pair it with the ultra modern. The idea is to be unique not in costume.

American - Circa.Late.1980s.

We always have a soft spot for anything red and when you add Donna Karan to the mix usually our heart skips a beat. This makes us instantly want to grab a straw bag add a couple of Cacharel print cotton skirts and some raffia slides a bikini and some shades and head to St. Barts.

Frockology Style Tip:
When working with a sarong skirt or scarf always experiment with different ways to wrap. Think past wrap to the side and tie, find unique and different techniques for more interesting shapes. It will give you a feeling of accomplishment, as well as inspire others in taking a different approach to their look, and we are all about sharing ideas on fashion.

American - Circa.Mid.1970s.

Is there anything more wonderful in the fall than a chic little suede jacket. Something that protects yet emphasises all your feminine charms. Toss it on and make it one of your signature pieces for the season.
*
Frockology Style Tip:
Anytime you are working with a suede jacket you tend to quickly pair it with a pair of jeans and rightly so, but also think past the easy way and consider it with plaid trousers or paisley print wool challis skirts. It is a great investment piece and should be mixed and matched as often as possible. Depending on the way you pair it, you will have many different looks as well as a great pair of jeans.

piece apart so that you will think

mix not the match.
