i've been a fan of creatures of comfort for a while now, and was pleased to see that they were added to the new york calendar this year. this is a pretty laid back but sometimes kooky line, and i'm really into everything this season. jade lai, the designer behind the line, played around with heavier sweaters and skirts this season, pushing the line a bit further than usual.
the backdrop was an homage to the late louise bourgeois, whose art inspired the fall collection. lai experimented with windowpane grids on boxy topcoats and shifts representing the "sense of entrapment that bourgeois' work evoked," while the eyes scattered on button-ups and other easy pieces were a frequent bourgeois motif.
the muted colours are perfect for fall, and each piece looks just right for layering. i love the eyes on the white dress! spooky and the best amount of kinda whimsy.
