k8 says.....

Outerwear winter dressing should be considered very thoughtfully. if you live in a large city, take public transportation and generally walk everywhere, you know what I'm talking about. a great coat, no, a great couple of coats, is essential from october through march(hopefully by april it's warm enough to dust off the really great trench at the RL sample sale). i mostly notice sweaters when I'm out and about, but lately, it's coats, coats, coats.......and more coats. if anything's worth spending the most money, is a well designed, well made, this has got to be it. color doesn't really matter, as long as the lines are clean, simple and you can layer numerous sweaterrs, tanks and the occasional blazer underneath. sonia rykiel is famous for her knits, but she had some ubercool wovens on the runway - ok....so the white coat is a little impractical, and I threw in the picture of the dress because to me, there's nothing better than navy and black. if i were come cool, parisian girl, and money was no object - as I dream it won't be one day - sonia would BE my wardrobe. she's got to be over 70 years old, but hasn't lost her cool factor....something to aspire to.

her and her daughter also design a "slightly" better priced collection called sonia by sonia rykiel. check it.
