Trench Dressing

    

 

One of the timeless statement pieces a women can have in her wardrobe is the trench coat.  From it's original use during World War II in the military to the magical films of Audrey Hepburn, trench coats have allured us for decades. Since then, the trench coat has been designed in an array of different styles and shapes like 'The Little Black Dress', but the trench coat has ultimately remained a fashion favorite. A great trench coat can add just the perfect finishing touches on an outfit or even make a casual outfit more chic. And lets not forget that this spring and fall trend works for all body types as there are plenty of different styles to fit you and your style needs.

    I can write a Senior Thesis on the many reasons why I love Philadelphia but for today and time's sake the reason I give to you is the fact that things like Antique & Vintage Markets happen here. It was wonderful, a bunch of small vintage/antiques shop owners and even other people with things to sell set up booths and tables to let vintage lover's, like myself, buy some great stuff you won't normally find in a normal store. From vintage advertisement prints to antique furniture, this market had it all.

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target

    

    Phillip Lim has certainly become a rising star within the fashion industry, in 2005 he co-founded his own clothing line called 3.1 Phillip Lim. Since then, Phillip has been awarded for both his womenswear and menswear and has received much praise from Vogue. But Vogue editors are not they only ones who've noticed Lim's great talent, Target has made Lim their next high-fashion partner. The capsule collection will hit stores on September 15 and consist of more than 100 timeless basics, including trenchcoats, breezy blouses, cozy sweaters, printed scarves, moto jackets, trousers, duffel bags, vinyl purses, shoes, and more for men and women. 

    The icing on top? Prices that range from $20 to $300. Hopefully Lim's feminine pieces will translate well into Target-friendly products, and the store will continue to stay a leader in well-executed high-low collaborations. See the clothes in action and watch the video preview of his line, below

So start marking you calenders and begin the count down because on September 15 this long awaited collection will land in stores and online!
