SLOPE TO APRÈS-SKI CHIC

BY INGRID SCHMIDT

Latest slope to après-ski must-haves from our South Coast Plaza boutiques

 

‘Tis the season for an alpine escape. Whether your destination of choice is Stowe Mountain, St. Moritz, Courchevel or Colorado, a wardrobe of versatile, cozy-chic pieces is essential before entering that winter ski resort wonderland. 

We have done all the legwork, gathering the latest slope-to-après-ski must-haves from our South Coast Plaza boutiques.  The goods include puffer coats, ski suits and pants, knit layering pieces, and all the gear — goggles, boots, hats, mittens and more–to suit sporty adventures and lodge lounging alike.

Retro-inspired looks are trending on the slopes this season. The Gucci Après-Ski collection offers glam skiwear sets, lug-soled boots, and ski masks as well as aluminum trolley suitcases, created in collaboration with luxe Italian luggage brand FPM Milano – available at our pop-up Gucci Valigeria boutique.

Canada Goose has teamed up with California-based sustainable fashion brand  Reformation on a collaborative collection of vests, parkas, puffer jackets and down-filled head scarves in vibrant prints.

Jimmy Choo has also made a foray into skiwear this season with a capsule line of snow-ready boots, ski suits, sweaters, puffers, totes, fleece-lined mittens, socks and more. 

Our team of pro stylists are on call to further personalize your packing and sweep SCP boutiques for all the sizes and looks on your list. So all you need to do is pack, put your feet up, and relax with a hot toddy by the fire while dreaming snow-dusted trees and fresh powder in the new year.

THE BEST FALL ACCESSORIES TO BUY NOW

BY LAURIE BROOKINS

From must-have boots to the latest status handbag and designer bangles, we’ve got all the pieces to add sophisticated polish to your fall wardrobe.

 

Stella McCartney

Why is Fall the fashion season that, more than any other time of year, seems to invite thoughts of revamping and revitalizing your wardrobe? Fashion anthropologists point to the idea that our minds eternally equate September with the first day of grade school, which conjures memories of a crisp new wardrobe and the shiny pair of shoes you couldn’t wait to show off to friends. Is it possible we’ve never quite outgrown that sense of giddy anticipation?

No matter its origins, the allure of adding new pieces to your wardrobe inevitably beckons as sultry summer weather transitions to autumn’s breezy, mild days and nights. But as seasonless wardrobes continue to dominate style strategies, how do you make an instant statement? With a coveted Fall accessory, of course. The season’s designer collections that sauntered down runways earlier this year are now arriving in stores, which means it’s the ideal time to assess the must-have trends sure to top the wish list of fashion fans. We’ve compiled six hot accessory categories for Fall 2022, each sure to add that perfect splash of polish to anything from weekday meetings to weekend brunch or the party you’ve been looking forward to for weeks. Explore these looks and plan a day at South Coast Plaza to kick off your fall wardrobe planning with sophisticated style.

METALLICS

Silver and gold are the hot hues in shoes and bags for the fall season, their unmistakable shine adding a high-wattage touch to your head-to-toe look. When reaching for metallic accessories, remember that a little goes a long way with these reflective surfaces. Indeed, mix textures and colors with a metallic statement bag or shoes to ensure your style feels current.

HATS ARE BACK

For truly standout style, few accessories conquer a moment quite like a hat. Bucket hats were omnipresent on the fall runways, and now in stores as well, perhaps because they’re easy to wear and, with a wide brim, frame the face beautifully. For a bit of undeniable drama, opt for a wide-brimmed felt style that’s sure to make heads turn. No matter what style you choose, this crowning touch should be the statement piece of your overall look.

Better yet, the design works across a broad spectrum of looks, so feel free to have fun with this piece as well.

FALL FASHION TRENDS 2022

BY MICHELLE DALTON TYREE

Designers Doubled Down on Joy, Vibrant Hues and Sweeping Hems

 

Saint Laurent Fall 2022 Fashion Show

After a spring and summer season punctuated by miniskirts, minidresses and mini bags, Fall style has made a dramatic about-face with designers taking a decidedly more fabric-forward approach to dressing. Jackets and blazers are supersized, plush robe coats channel serious cocoon vibes and, most notably, dress and skirt hemlines have plunged and puddled straight down to the floor. 

But make no mistake: Fall’s dramatically dropped hemlines do not portend a somber fashion season. To the contrary, the mood on the runways was hopeful and bright — in fact, even fluorescent — one of fall’s hottest trends. There was a serious embrace of femininity with sensuous dresses and skirts sweeping across the floor at Saint Laurent, Dior and more. Blazers bulked up, yet tailoring remained sharp as we saw on the runways at Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Balenciaga. And designers showed fresh —  occasionally cheeky — takes on classics, from fabulously feline leopard prints to luxe tuxedo dressing and elevated equestrian looks. So, we’ve rounded up some of our own favorite pieces this season — and decided that when it comes to floor-grazing hems: We’re absolutely here for it!

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
WINTER COLLECTION

Philanthropy Meets Fashion in Show Benefitting Working Wardrobes

 

“Future Positive” was the hopeful theme of the winter collection shown by the South Coast Plaza Salvatore Ferragamo boutique at a private philanthropic event in Irvine recently. Presented by South Coast Plaza in partnership with Salvatore Ferragamo, the runway show raised funds for Working Wardrobes.

The collection drew inspiration from motorcycles, athletics, scuba, military elements, among others, to reflect a utopia in which “diversity and positivity come together to transform the world into a better place,” according to the Salvatore Ferragamo collection notes.

Shirts, mohair knits, footwear and accessories were presented in monochrome against bursts of color.

Capes and coats coexisted with utility parkas and casual tailoring, while fine gauge knits featured technical accents and an abstract camouflage pattern.

A constellation of draped jersey dresses shone throughout the lineup.

Space-biker boots, scuba sock sneakers and rubberized nappa clogs appeared along a sleek interpretation of Salvatore Ferragamo’s signature F-heel, adorned with rhinestones and a luminous galvanized finish.

The collection also focused on sustainability, featuring numerous materials and components made responsibly, from leather tanned without chrome or other metals to wool and cashmere derived from pre- and post-consumer recycled fibers.

Wooden soles, for example, came from certified and responsibly managed forests, while vegetable tanned leather underwent a certified production process with low environmental impact. Some leather items were made from 100 percent recycled materials.

The message within the collection was clear: The future looks positive when we value what we use from the world we live in.
