Subtle Elegance

You know you've fallen deeply in love with a fashion item when you dream about owning it. And that's exactly what happened mere hours after I first laid eyes on designer Natalia Brilli's leather accessories at Zainab, a new high-fashion boutique on Melrose Avenue.

Whimsical -- and often comical -- Brilli's jewelry, bags and small leather goods are defined by what can most succinctly be described as leather shrink-wrapping: objects wrapped so tightly in leather, you can distill every bump and curve of the item underneath.

There are bags dripping with leather-wrapped bones, an eyeglass case sporting leather-wrapped specs and (perhaps Brilli's most inspired piece) the ghostly, futuristic "Nolexes": fake Rolex watches-turned-bracelets that are wrapped in hides and affixed with snap closures ($378).

The stuff of dreams, for sure.

Nina Ricci - Red Carpet Look

Nina Ricci Look # 36 at Zainab 

Nina Ricci Look # 36 at Zainab 

Effectively, this Fall is Peter Copping's debut as a full-fledged runway designer after spending a decade as Marc Jacobs' right-hand man at Louis Vuitton. Though he's been at Nina Ricci since last spring, this collection was the first to be given an official on-schedule show since Olivier Theyskens left the house. What Copping showed certainly demonstrated a distinct departure from Theyskens' high-drama, dark Belgian romance. At first sight, Copping's take on Nina Ricci is much more flowery and safely feminine, full of pretty, just below knee-length satin slipdresses; 3-D haberdashery floral appliqués; and hints of the Belle Époque in bustle-back skirts.

That part of the collection, as well as the four long finale dresses, seemed to be positioning Nina Ricci as the Parisian answer to, say, Alberta Ferretti or Collette Dinnigan. That's a respectable thing to be aiming for commercially, but looked at from the creative angle, Copping still has to assert himself as a designer with his own voice. A lot that was on the runway looked too much like holdovers from his days at Vuitton, where Marc Jacobs handed him sole authorship of cruise and pre-collections. Still, new house, new start; and by next season, maybe the distance will have given Copping the chance to whip up a new raison d'être for the Ricci label.

Inspiration - some words from Jeremy Laing

"This season I was inspired by elements of the Canadian northwest coast, from the curvilinear style of Native graphics appearing on totems, boxes and mid-century art prints, to the rich colours and textures of the redwood forest."
