Is it just me, or is this very Twin-Peaks-esque?

Womens’ looks ranged from being fluidly soft to structured — though all feminine in their own right. A mauve jumpsuit ensemble evoked a sexy 70′s secretary look, with a touch of girlishness from a white-bow headband. A tightly-belted women’s jacket and men’s trench coat both evoked 40′s film noir, while a mini-skirt and vest ensemble looked a bit 80′s new wave.

Sexy 70′s Secretary Look?

Though John Patrick’s inspiration for this collection seems to skirt many decades of the past century, there is a common thread of classic shapes, muted colors, and noirish surrealism that brings this collection together and makes it cohesive. Our favorite look of the bunch was a cape paired with a fluted skirt and white hat — the cape’s hint of red lining and the outfit’s unusual shape make the look effortlessly chic with an exquisitely curved hat atop the model’s head.

A touch of glamour

The casual looks were no less appealing, with short, flirty skirts featuring subtle textures in shades of gray. A black lace dress with a dropped waist and pockets seems like the perfect party dress for the fall, while a mottled gray skirt paired with a t-shirt and vest at the exhibition is an easily versatile piece for a number of occasions.

Women’s looks featured black lace, and black and white gingham

This classic trench coat looked very dashing

Mens’ looks for the fall are very wearable. We can’t help but think of David Lynch when it came to a look with a beige trench coat paired with this green velvet curtain backdrop on the set. The collection also featured a few casual looks, where we thought the patchwork-plaid shirt was a stand-out piece, one that we imagine could go with just about any pair of organic cotton jeans.

The men’s looks were cute and very wearable
