TEA TIME: “My former assistant labeled me a renaissance woman,” noted multitasking stylist, consultant and Harper’s Bazaar fashion editor Melanie Ward. Her latest project is a fashion collection of her own, Blouson Noir, designed with knitwear consultant Graham Tabor. The first capsule collection will be presented in an apartment in Paris’ Marais district from Sunday to Oct. 10. Ward, who worked as creative director for Helmut Lang for 13 years, described the line as chic, ageless and cool, with sharp pricing. “The whole line was inspired by tea towels — it’s very textural with lots of loose weaves,” said Ward.

I only had my iphone handy, apologies for the occasional blurriness

^oh you found it! hurrah!! i was mentioning that piece earlier in the thread but i could not find them in any of books of clippings. that was my defining moment actually. she really helped usher in an entirely new perception and approach to fashion for me. i always count melanie,demeulemeester and lang as the designers who changed my outlook. and my taste of course.
