Everybody is buzzing about the 23 year old Wes Gordon collection, Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford’s intern. I love the whole collection. I hope we will get to see more of his work in the future.
The 23 year old Wes Gordon is attending at Central Saint Martins. “The collection,” he told Vogue, “was inspired by all the beautiful girls I know or wish I knew, like Lauren Bacall. These women exude a modern elegance, wearing exquisitely tailored clothes with a certain twist and edge — not unlike themselves. My goal is to design pieces that combine creativity and fun.” One lambskin and wool jacket was listed in the show notes with “Ziggy lame” sleeves — dubbed such, Gordon noted, because “Ziggy Stardust” was playing in the background at the time. The designer is nothing if not exacting: a pink chiffon dress was all hand-tucked, and the collection’s buttons were “done by the jeweler down the street” because “nothing should be an afterthought.”
