Owning designer pieces at a reasonable price is no longer just a far fetched dream thanks to the amazing collaboration between Prabal Gurung and J. Crew. Combining classic and romantic, the capsule collection features some interesting choices that will surely capture your attention.
Designer and retailer collaborations are always exciting as they
give women with multiple income ranges the opportunity to get
high-end designs at reasonable prices. One of the most impressive
recent collaborations is that between the upcoming Prabal Gurung
and J.Crew.
The new capsule collection seems to revolve around the idea that
simplicity, elegance and sophistication with a subtle touch of
edginess can sometimes go hand in hand and the designs are
certainly fully supportive of this concept.
Focusing on clean and simple silhouettes, the collection exudes
classicism and romance even at a relatively careless look. The
pieces are fairly simple as the outfits consist of one or two
versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched. The overall
feeling is that of a interesting collection that takes the
refinement of business attire and adds a romantic twist to it.
Oversized bows are the recurrent elements that make this collection
so memorable.
With this fab detail that invariably attracts attention
instantly, the need to keep it simple and basic is definitely
understandable. From flirty above the knee sleeveless dresses to cute tops and shorts or
monochrome suits, simplicity and refinement dominate. If you want a
maximum versatility with a subtle minimalist touch, the all white
fashion trend subtly illustrated in
the collection is certainly a fabulous choice. If you are more keen
on embracing the color block trend, there are plenty of worthwhile
inspiration sources as well. If you would rather create a single
focal point, combining a bright color with a neutral tone will
create the best results. All of these options are impeccably
highlighted throughout the collection.
Aside from the easily noticeable desire for versatile pieces that
can be easily adapted to a multitude of outfit choices, the desire
for comfort is also a fairly important one, especially if we take a
look at the shoe choices. Although classy, elegant shoes such as medium heel sandals or
pointy toe pumps can be spotted, strappy flats and Oxfords tend to
be a more popular option. It is certainly refreshing to see that
elegance and comfort are no longer mutually exclusive as some might
have thought for quite some time now.
With the collection launched this week, deciding on whether you are
interested in the pieces or not should be done quickly. That's
because the pieces were created in a run of 50 and the pre-order
option might mean that you might not get the chance to get your
favorite pieces if you wait too long. If you are wandering about
pricing, you should know that they start at about $198. Check the
official J. Crew website for more details.
