It’s as simple as basic math. 1 knit coat + 1 canvas jacket = 1 completely new Costume National jacket. Taking the pre-school concept of cut and paste to all new level, Ennio Capasa plays with texture and saves you the hassle of finding two separate piece to throw together to create one winning look, this coming Fall. Kind of like the time when Miccuia Prada faded mohair into just about everything back in Fall 2007.

Being quite picky when it comes coats, rarely do I find a coat that I will truly like all throughout a season. But how many coats do you know are the mutant and beautiful offspring of knit, canvas, mohair, and satin? Not many. While the technique of ombre is fading one color into the next, in his latest collection Ennio Capasa fades on fabric into the next. Doing so in what I would like to consider the coolest way possible – crisp, clean, and with the right measure of edge. Using a color palette of darkened hues to create a mood perfect for winter and subtle greys to showcase how you should be spending the season’s more relaxed days.
