By time we climbed five flights of stairs to the Band of Outsiders show yesterday, we were shamelessly out of breath and had literally run into Amy Astley on her way down.
Once there, we weren't sure if we were in a Chelsea gallery or the English countryside. Scott Sternberg's presentation was a little bit haunted and a lot preppy.
There was a sea of skinny blazers, high-waisted wide-leg trousers, fur hats and penny loafers, complete with pennies in them. The plaid, sharply tailored clothes were J.Crew meets vintage Ralph Lauren accessorized with plenty of fingerless gloves.
The boys and girls' clothes barely differed, aside from a black and red plaid dress and a mini underneath a camel peacoat, which makes us think Sternberg's still getting used to designing his new women's line.
The clothes looked cozy and comfortable, and isn't that what every girl wants come winter?

What a fantastic show! I can't think of a better way to kick off the fall fashion week than collegiate preppies from the countryside.
