I was looking through the SS10 collections when I stumbled upon a look from Azzaro that looks startlingly like something I have in my own closet. I got this Elizabeth and James jacket several years ago at an employees-only sample sale. While I always thought the jacket was special, due to the absurdity of the piece I wore it more like a costume than anything else. Well, now that it’s walked down the runway (and if the cerulean speech from “The Devil Wears Prada” holds true) pretty soon size 6′s everywhere will be digging gold tassled smoking jackets out of the bargan bin at Filene’s Basement. And to think I wore this thing as part of my Lucille Austero costume for Halloween last year! I wonder if the Olsen’s contemporary line will make any lasting impressions on the FW10 collections as well.
