Editions M.R, formerly known as Melinda Gloss, has hit the reset button for fall with a collection based on its inherently Parisian aesthetic.
Designers Mathieu de Ménonville and Rémi de Laquintane went back to straightforward, masculine dressing with that certain je ne sais quoi only natives master.
Inspired by the iconic Saint-Germain Hotel La Louisiane, which counted Miles Davis and Jim Morrison as long-time residents, they proposed bathrobe-y coats — which have been everywhere this season — but minus the belt for a more relaxed, unpretentious look.
A ball-shaped, double-breasted blouson in navy corduroy and shearling was also on trend, while double-pleated dress pants fell nicely over the ankle, their elevated waists a natural match for a run of mohair and alpaca sweaters.
