i never thought i'd see the day when dries laid down and let trend give him a once over. the mix master of all things ethnic and sublime gave us animal prints and army wear for women and now bleached denim and deconstructed trenches? don't get me wrong, the essentials remain -- i'd kill for one of those instantly-classic cardigans, the blazers remain necessary, the plaid pants are pitch perfect, and i could eat those bags for dinner they're so scrumptious -- but it lacks that directional vision we can so frequently count on dries for.
