Cora Kemperman Fall 2010
October 15th, 2010 § 1 Comment
One day when I am living bi-continentally I will be able to shop at Cora Kemperman, a store I fell in love with in Amsterdam, on a regular basis. Until then I find myself checking out their website every season for inspiration and general swooning. This fall’s campaign doesn’t disappoint and the photography is especially gorgeous.
The tiny hat is great with this outfit and nod to Alice in Wonderful it seems. The use of red (and other primary colors) as a base like black is something I’ve noticed they do often–and with great success. I swear I had these shoes too! Does this mean I am officially old now that my high school and college days are already being recycled. Uh oh….
This outfit features so many of my favorite things–antique/ethnic patterns, ballon skirting, wrap draping, obi waistband, cutout knits, and layering! I want to fly somewhere immediately and pick this up. It’s simply brilliant and would be perfect for a wedding I’m attending next week but impossible so oh well.
Now that Gap is selling them I feel like harem pants (or salwars/shalwars) are on their way to fashion extinction but I still love them and find them ever so useful in a variety of settings. These super-low ones are great and paired with the sparkly jacket evokes a sexy evening reception or dinner party. It’s a look I think a lot of people could pull off.
I was performing in a Jazz Festival with my family ..Fall of 2002. Before I went to Cologne to perform, I stopped in Amsterdam with my sister and discovered this incredible store. The pieces are timeless and the quality is still beautiful. I still wear them. I wish there stores in America!
