Cropped does not always mean - and we apologize to the fabulous girls at Juicy Couture - uhhh, Juicy Couture. Even they would admit that it takes a certain kind of girl and a certain kind of body to wear their stuff and it's not usually the same woman who likes old school Issey Miyake. When left to a Japanese designer, the concept of cropped isn't about showing off your tight butt (not that you don't have one), it's about playing with proportion and scale. A cropped jacket with wrap-waisted pants and flat Comme des Garcons shoes has an intellectual vibe that says you find John Irving sexier than Brad Pitt or that Nice is a nicer place to vacation than Daytona Beach in March. So now that we have dispensed with our own inimitable sort of stereotyping and sweeping generalizations, which we often find to be most accurate, we ask you if you're Juicy or Issey 'cause you can't be both. A charcoal grey linen twoll jacket with chalkstriped edges and dramatic yoked sailor collar. Gorgeous with other edgy pieces from Japanese or Belgian designers, this has wide kimono sleeves and no closure so you leave it open along the placket to fall in unstructured waves. An Issey small, this is sized for a woman up to a modern 10 if she is on the shorter side and is 17" in length. Excellent condition. $515.00 |
