Our first impression when we did a quick sweep of the mannequin clad Adrienne Vittadini presentation…was wow; this is really a step up from the Spring efforts.

Partially, we admit, is that we are partial to Fall fashion anyway…. autumnal efforts set the trends…
But also, this outing had a more youthful appeal. Though of course, staying true to Vittadini’s understated elegance for a value price…for the not overly trendy gal…but one who appreciates the Euro-American style. And now, we think, a younger customer might pick up a A.V. separate and pair it with what she already has in her closet.
We had a nice chat with the design head, Kristiiina Salminen who confirmed for us “...that we have a more modern collection that is for the ageless modern women who makes her own choices.”

Embrace yarn year round...
Animal prints add magnetism...
Playful moments make fahsion fun. Look for more trompe l'oeil, sequins, grommets and more.
Navy is the new grey.
Cigarette pants polish any look.

We think the knitwear very chic…and of course, Adrienne Vittadini’s original claim to fame.
