Soia and Kyo have me riled up

Posted by Gloria 22 November 2008 10 Comments

 

I have this horribly sick habit of buying one or two new winter jackets every year – don’t ask how, why, or if I need them. It just happens.

 

I’ve had my eye on Mackage and Soia & Kyo jackets, but I think S&K have stolen the show this year. Rather than continuing to ride off the novelty of giant buttons on houndstooth, they’ve taken it a step further this season with asymmetrical lines and a wider variety of materials and styles.

 

I love me some wool jackets.

 

I rarely like down jackets, but I’m so sure that if I manage to find it in stores, I’m all over the Carolina Down jacket in Grey or Black. It’s classic and it’s striking. At the measly price of $260.00 (choke choke, that’s a good month of brown-bagging worthy), it’s almost a steal. No, actually I lied it isn’t, but I damn well want it anyway.

    Every year I tell myself that I will buy a Soia & Kyo, but never had enough brown bags to buy a jacket :( I will however try to save enough money to buy one in January!

    came across this blog; props for holding it down for the toronto fashion scene!

    so purple is the “in” color for this year eh? though it pains me to see every line hop on the bandwagon and kill different color(s) each year.

    I hate how houndstooth pattern has become the “standard” for winter jackets nowadays; overly used, as if every designer out there is thinking “here comes the F/W collection; we MUST have a houndstooth piece!”

    keep up the good blogs guys

    I vote purple as definitely being the colour of the season!
