MANILA, Philippines - The Kenneth Cole New York fall/winter 2010 collection is a fusion of tough and feminine, luxe and refined. Lean shapes intersect with sports-inspired layering pieces and colors drawn from a journey around Europe, from the green-blue Aegean to gray and burgundy Berlin to the sunless capitals of Scandinavia. Then there’s Paris — elegant, urban, richly black and the right town for Kenneth Cole’s classic leathers. Day-to-night, effortless yet refined, Kenneth Cole for fall 2010 is a modern, mix-and-match wardrobe for city dwellers on-the-go.
Key looks for women include silk, wool and knit jersey shifts worn belted at the waist and with classic blazer or anorak-inspired jackets, tapered pants, easy shirtdresses and slouchy knits. Leather is a theme, from the grommet-detailed trim on wear-anywhere wrap dress to the leather hug of leggings that create sleek looks for work or play. A sense of richness pervades the collection, touches of fur and leather combined with a palette of warm green, camel, burgundy, purple and gray, all grounded by classic Kenneth Cole black. A must-have cropped moto jacket sets the tone for accessories: highlights include dense chain necklaces, eyelet studded clutches and hobo bags and tough, pleat-detailed belts and boots. Platform ankle boots and winter sandals, made to be worn with tights, ground this season’s curve-skimming silhouettes.
In the Philippines, Kenneth Cole New York is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Rockwell, Greenbelt 5, and Rustan’s Makati.
