With Françoise Hardy as her muse, Rebecca Taylor channeled a “feminine, elegant, eclectic” mood for fall, mixing a subtle Sixties vibe with Victorian and military accents. “Things have been so austere,” she said during a walk-through. “It’s about a return to modern femininity and movement.”
Plaid printed pants and wide-leg sailor trousers tempered the girlishness of her floaty bohemian blouses and ruffled dresses in shades of plum, oxblood, blue and teal. Outerwear with colorful fur and fringe accents — including a chic, oversize faux-fur leopard coat, a print Taylor says she considers a neutral — added a bit of fun for a girl who has grown tired of standard winter black.
