RESORT WEAR STREET STYLE



She walks into a room and everyone notices. People wonder­and
some even ask —­ “Who is that girl?” She exudes confidence in her
subtle movements, her red lip, and the sparkle in her eye. She
smiles and immediately has all eyes on her. She’s not just well
dressed; she’s magnetic.

She makes you rethink your own fashion rules and she makes you
want to break them. She has just the right watch for the silk shirt,
just the right mules for her perfectly tailored jeans that show just
the right amount of ankle. She intrigues you, and everyone else
around you, with the way her dress delicately kisses the floor as
she sweeps across the room.

Her clothing palette is a mix of unexpected color and looks effort-
less. Rhinestones with plaid, lace with leather, neon with pastels.
It’s not the jacket she’s wearing; it’s the way she wears it.

And when she leaves the room, she’s still on everyone’s mind
because the scent of her signature perfume lingers in the air.

she is you.

Harrington Meade Fashion Week was founded

to express the individuality of fashion to Stock
Hampton, MA, an up and coming city in the
Cape Cod area. Two college roommates, Lane
Harrington & Elsie Meade founded HMFW after
moving to Stock Hampton and realizing women
were lacking in fashion confidence. Lane & Elsie
both believe that expressing yourself through
fashion can be truly liberating.

While supporting and elevating the local fashion
community, Lane & Elsie wish to inspire women
to be clothed in confidence and independence.
This five night experience is held at the Stock
Hampton Event Center and features over 50
designers, 20 runway shows, celebrity events,
workshops, and trunk shows. The mission of
HMFW is to motivate women to be tastefully
dressed, bold, and most importantly, unique.

Using this book

Remember when personal style
seemed so much easier? Didn’t
things seem more simplified
when people could just match
their clothes and fit into a specific
fashion category like “classic” or
“minimalist”? Why did everyone
have to start mixing things up and
looking so good?

Street-style photographs and
bloggers emerged everywhere,
and whether you loved it or hated
it, along with them came a raised
awareness that fashion was —
yet again — about to mix things
up. The way that real girls, not
celebrities with stylists, were
piecing high-end and low-end
items together was refreshing.
Women suddenly wanted to match less and complement more, which
in turn complicated things for shoppers everywhere. Even fashion pros
started becoming more thoughtful about print pairings and acessory
placement, making it nearly impossible to keep up with the flood of
inspirational style imagery surrounding us.
You will be trying new techniques before you know it, and with each
new style challenge, we would like you to reflect on how you felt about
it to find out why you do and don’t like certain styles. Ask yourself
“why” often. Understanding why things make you feel good is the key

to progressing in this journey. This is a style self-awareness book.
Uncovering and investigating your likes and dislikes will help to
bring out your improved self.

It’s not easy to determine your own style. How many times have
you felt confident that you finally found your authentic look only to
stare blankly at your closet one week later? If you use this book as
intended, we promise you you’ll finally figure it out so you can begin
to feel great and look your very best every day.

You are about to embark on a style journey, and somewhere along
the way you will come out with a clear understanding of your own
personal style and a more confident version of yourself.

trends

Next season is all about romantic detail, a low-key
way to sparkle, and, well, industrial-grade rubber.
We’re slowly starting to notice the trends of Spring
2018. With the fashion rule in mind that spotting
three like-looks makes a trend, here are the ones to
watch — and what you’ll likely be filling your closets
with as Spring nears. Read our forecast of the biggest
trends for spring 2018, ahead.

24 TRENDS

Fashion is essentially the most popular
mode of expression: It describes the
ever-changing style of clothes worn
by those with cultural status. A fash-
ion trend occurs when others mimic or
emulate this clothing style. Fashions
vary greatly within a society over time,
but also are affected by age, occupa-
tion, sexual orientation, location and
social class.

TRENDS 25

short jackets may gradually be gain-
ing more acceptance than hip length

another may be slight but it generally
has a direction. The ability to recognize
the direction or that trend is vital for
fashion forecasters or predictors.

TRENDS 31

TRANSPARENCY // designers are leaving little to the
imagination this season — but not in the vulgar, over-sexed
way you’d imagine. Soft, wispy, gossamer fabrics are being
delicately draped to show hints of skin that feel far more
romantic than they do sultry.

32 TRENDS

LAVENDER // fall 2017 was all about mustard, cobalt and
bold, bright red, but Spring’s color palette seems less pri-
mary. Spring 2018 runways are bringing about new brights
and a pops of rich pastels, like an unexpected surge of
ladylike lavender.

rtoeawdeyar

Ready-to-wear or Pret-a-porter is the fashion design
term for clothing marketed in a finished condition.
Some fashion houses or fashion designers create
ready-to-wear lines that are mass-produced and
industrially manufactured. Others offer lines that
are still very exclusive and produced only in limited
numbers and only for a limited time. In contrast to
haute couture, these lines are never one of a kind.
High-end ready-to-wear lines are sometimes based
upon a famous gown or pattern that is then dupli-
cated to raise the designer’s visibility level.

GINGER
& SMART

The Art Gallery of New South Wales was the setting
for Ginger & Smart’s meditation on women in the
arts. Jumping off from Niki de Saint Phalle, Ray
Eames, and Eva Hesse — three legendary artists
who, it’s worth noting, have little in common aesthet-
ically — designers Genevieve and Alexandra Smart
sent out a lively collection of wearable pieces with
just the right injection of whimsy. The layered blush
petal dresses were perfectly pretty, though today’s art
crowd might gravitate more toward the roomy frocks
in geometric prints, like floaty Ellsworth Kellys in
Kelly green and cobalt blue. The brand also has an
aptly smart hold on accessories, decking out many
looks with platform Teva-like sandals and brightly
colored barrel bags.

JOIE

There is a certain look that’s prevalent among the
urban-centered, young(ish), freewheeling females
of coastal America and Western Europe, especially
on the weekends. You could probably call it boho-
lite: There’s usually an army jacket involved, a
vintage-looking blouse or sundress, maybe a boy fit
jean or something tighter and cooler that alludes to
great legs and a past propensity for nightlife. It’s the
elder sister of the “model off-duty,” who doesn’t look
out of place picking up the kids from school or going
on a brunch date. It is a comfortable look, one that
ensures you will never look like you are trying too
hard. In fact, the only real risk involved is running
into someone else wearing the same thing. Sound
familiar? It should. This is a Joie girl, they are every-
where, and thanks to VP of design Rachel Wild-
er-Hill, they should be very happy come spring.

LISA
PERRY

For Spring, Lisa Perry had her favorite era, the late
’60s in London, as well as her love for vintage on
her mind. There was more variation and prints in
her prior collections, and Perry focused more on
pared-back pieces here. A few sexy tie tops in the
mix were a great way to break the collection up
and appeal to different generations: A client who
would want to cover up could easily throw a shirt
on underneath the piece, while those more daring
could tie the blouse as loosely as they wanted to
show as much décolletage as they were comfortable
with. Outerwear was strong: A colorblocked chubby
was a head-turner, while a quintessential mod-style
cropped white jacket and a longer black coat with
zippers at the cuffs were age-old classics.

Ten years ago, Lisa Perry took her
longtime love of 1960s fashion, and
launched her namesake label. Over the
last decade, she’s remained fiercely
loyal to her core aesthetic.
