In what is Barneys New York's Amanda Brooks's most casual outfit to date (it is Sunday, after all), the fashion director wore a pair of distressed jeans and a Céline baseball tee. Brooks also forgoes her beloved Céline bags, which she's carried for the past three days, for an over-sized, classic Chanel 2.55.
On Amanda: Céline tee-shirt, Current/Elliot jeans, mystery belt, Céline shoes, Chanel bag, and Derek Lam sunglasses.
About the look: "I am trying to channel my Sunday vibe as much as possible, even though it's a busy day. When I saw this Céline tee-shirt I had to buy it because the little tiger icon looks exactly like a lamp, yes a lamp, I had in my house as a child. And I wore these glasses as a shout-out to Derek Lam, who showed a stunning spring 2012 collection this morning."
Today sees Barneys New York's fashion director Amanda Brooks solving a classic fashion dilemma: how to put together an outfit that's both day- and evening-appropriate. To wit, she simply mixed one of her mother's vintage lace blouses with her newly purchased Alaïa skirt for a look that's elegant, yet slightly playful. Brooks polished everything off with a pair of black pumps and her favorite pair of sunglasses.
On Amanda: Céline sunglasses, vintage Sonia Rykiel blouse, Azzedine Alaïa skirt, and Azzedine Alaïa shoes.
About the look: "Today I’m more dressy than usual because Barneys is hosting an event tonight, and I wont have time to go home and change. My outfit started with this Alaïa skirt that I just bought — its wool but I couldn’t wait to wear it. Naturally, it looks great with my favorite Alaïa heels. And then to add something different, I dug out this eighties Sonia Rykiel lace blouse that was once my mother’s. I have vivid memories of her wearing it, so its fun to channel that look and time."
