The impetus appeared on sailor jackets turned into mini dresses, roomy trousers with red and white stripes accenting the inseam, lots of navy, and that timeless maritime button pattern on pants and peacoats.
Anyone who has spent time by the sea knows the power of layering, thus Charlier assembled looks with bustiers over turtlenecks (a great trick in real-time) and knit and leather dresses and sweaters over mock-neck tops, with cozy fur collars as accents.
Outerwear was a strong focus with a statement-making yellow belted trench, tried-and-true navy peacoats that we could snatch off the runway and wear in right now, a cropped shearling that will surely please the street style set, and a glossy patent-sleeve number that was as sleek and modern as it gets.
Functional, fun, and friendly: these are just some of the ways you can describe Charlier’s latest. It riffed on one of the most classic and approachable themes, while still injecting a sense of modernity and singularity into the mix.
