DAKS
A Constellation of Beauty
By Marcellous L. Jones
Milan, Italy – Daks strays far away from the near-overpowering trend of monster-sized coats for the season. Instead they propose gorgeous trench-capes in water repellant fabrics as outerwear. One look features a beautiful waist-length cape in navy with leather piping about the collars. Long knitted scarves also accompany many of the looks.
Mustard knits are without a doubt the star of the color palette. We see country green, tea, gray and checks dominating.
The trousers are cut slimly to the legs. The coats and trenched are belted and fitted slim for the sleekest of looks. Quilted leather is used to create pants. Their sex appeal is moderated by their being paired with knit scarves. The quilted leather also makes appearances as important embellishments to the coats and jacket. Mustard satin is also used in the coats.
The evening is extremely chic at Daks. The blue velvet double-breasted suit is the brightest of all in this collection, which is a metaphor for a constellation of beautiful stars.
