I'm a real believer in dressing tone-on-tone. I'm not saying you need to dress black. Dress just one color so the colors are not breaking your silhouette.
My six favorite textures for fall and winter are leather, fur, tweed, mohair, velvet and wool. I love that they are all as warm as they are fashionable and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.
Sweaters are a closet staple. They look great under a leather vest or with a pair of tailored trousers.
I tend to wear leather pants with crew neck sweaters or leather jackets with denim.
Each moment calls for a different stylistic essence and a different sense of impact, and mastery of this balance is an art form - a very learnable art form.
I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more.
