Artisanal Basenote HO5 & Studio NTK

None of these people are me
When I was at the Pattern store launch VIP event a few months ago, I accosted Laura Walters by screaming "what are you wearing?" It was an amazing modern vest diagonal thingy that was just a wee to short to wear as a dress but too long to be a shirt. Not only was the silhouette striking, but that fabric was quilted, extremely contemporary in a just right medium weight. Nataliya Kitic's line Studio NTK is carried at Pattern and Boomerang, just to get you started and every season she comes out with a new collection. I previewed  this at Nataliya and House of 5th's  part,y Artisanal Basenote, on Thursday at their workshop.  The cuts are Helmut Lang cool but the fabric is all Lee McQueen kinda freaky. Fall 2014/15's mainstay is a honeycomb stretchy thick scuba-ish fabric and it is super great. I'd pair the boxy top with skinny pants and cage heels or get a really big one and share it with my boyfriend

A word about HO5. Truen has stepped it up with new leather treatments (a cool worn-ish ombre) cut outs and a pop of this crazy deep saturated hot pink. I am a champion of this brand (only slightly behind his uber supportive family) it is quality and detail all the way and just damn good bags that you will not see anywhere else.
