fashion friday : kate sylvester

Kate Sylvester : native of New Zealand takes a minimalist approach and she hasn't jumped on the usual retro bandwagon ... it's a little modern really, a lesson in elegance and understatement. And cute bits. And we love LOVE cute bits! Sylvester produces beautifully cut suits and dresses that are suggestive of the modish looks of the 1960s, while still maintaining a clean and spare æsthetic to give it a modernist edge.
