Rachel Comey’s clothes appeal to me, but rarely fit me (they seem designed for herons and ostriches but not juncoes or indigo buntings) (I own a cardigan that dates from my entrée to YLF.) I came across this quote from NYT’s Vanessa Friedman about a recent Rachel Comey collection that appeals to me, that manifests what I would like from my clothing in general:
“These clothes do what fashion should do, which is frame the complexities of the wearer with grace but without oversimplification, so the person becomes more of who they are. The clothes don’t have an agenda of their own, but they facilitate the agenda of the woman who wears them.”
