RUNWAY: Officine Generale FW18

There is a level of casual elegance at Officine Generale's collections one comes to expect. The label is known for their beautiful laid back tailoring and, once again, delivered. There was a richness in the fabrics used that evoked a grandiose vibe without being loud, take a gray suit in heavy wool, speckled with white yarn, that looked so cool and effortless while military influences were elevated with a "cool, calm and collected" attitude, like a dropped crotch for ease. Not that Veronique Nichanian has any intention of leaving Hermes but if she were, Pierre Maheo, the designer at Officine Generale, has consistently been making a good case for why he should succeed her.
