The Vessel by Lois F/W 2011 was a to the point menswear/uniform collection for "all women of all ages" ...
A focused presentation in a bare bones art gallery space was actually refreshing, environs ---wise...as it allowed us to just admire the precise tailoring and stellar fabrics of the polished modern, elegant ensembles.

| Layered Cashmere Jacket-Soft Drapes perfectly sewn. |
Of course it was jammed packed...but this label gets a lot of interest.
The separates--- including what we feel are the top outfit we saw here---the short suit with slit sleeves---a Vessel signature...were all made of luxe fabrics that this photographer/entrepreneur/designer/ model (and lady of impeccable, incredible style)---- sources afresh each season.
And yes--- one can see the CK aesthetic...but we felt some 70's Halston evening luxe going on here too...as in wouldn't Bianca or another style icon just look fabulous in this collection.
 |
| Terrific! |
We also loved the Tailcoat in ivory ---we could/would wear these with denim...or over any cocktail or Red Carpet frock.
 |
| Jacket with Bustle and Short Skirt |
Feminine with the extraneous frills...everything we saw we thought...yup, easy additions to any wardrobes...with enough textural variety as to make them worthy additions too---not repeats of what we already have---that's dated.
And that's another great thing about all of these outfits...they really can be dressed up or down.
