Like any good Mimran, Kim Newport truly understands the business of fashion. Always just trendy enough to get the shopping list fantasizing going, but never so much so that she’s off on a limb in the discount bin. Albeit a little derivative of Proenza Schouler’s spring 2008 and/or spring 2010 collections, Pink Tartan’s fall offering was nothing short of pitch-perfect covetability. Part updated-military, part festooned dancer, the show included a series of standouts like the belted utility vests and relaxed button downs over ostrich skirts, the cable knits and a large army printed ballgown. Backstage, Newport called it “couturitarian”. We call it “yes, please!”
