Wanting: Mara Hoffman Hooded Zip Coat

Mara Hoffman makes some wonderful and wack womenswear; where she excels are coats. I love this Mara Hoffman coat, with a hood that falls into a shawl collar. It’s from fall 2007, I’m on the hunt…

Wearing: Mara Hoffman Hooded Wrap Coat

As much as I dig you, I didn’t want to tell you I bought this hooded Mara Hoffman coat last winter in SoHo. Every time I sport it, I get stopped: with a wrap belt and a shawl collar, it’s so comfortably glam. I’ve had it copied into two other materials, so I have one for every season…

Hating.

This silk-blend racerback tank from YSL is timeless. Its price, however, is not: it’s very 2007, at $1,150… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/16/silk-racerback-tanks-k-is/feed 5
