In what we used to refer to as the forbidden zone- an art gallery that probably saw life as a industrial something at some point...served as an ideal event space for the Spring/Summer 2014 HACHE runway show -an Italian line that always seems to be ahead of the inspirational curve.

AND of course, HACHE's footwear selections-the embellished slides-a staple of this EURO line for seasons and now being put forth by many designers---at fairly ridiculous prices too. No wonder we saw Birki's/Birkenstock on loads of fashion feet this past NYFW.
FOR this season-HACHE merged the country rock of the 50's fused with the punk scene of the late 70's/early 80's...clean separates with flair-ruffled hems, apron like overlays that gave many looks a color block effect, pretty loosely pleated and slim (not tight) pencil skirt shapes-in cotton-y white and pastels- or in summery faded striped shirt fabric ---used in the tops, also , thin studded belts for shape-and a judicious use of metal studs on jackets- for that punk vibe...a softened up one.
On the feet- comfy mules often provided the bold pop of color (red/black) in an ensemble...as well as studded slides.
From the run of show...
"Rockabilly chic style jackets fall over wide cropped denim pants, layering over pajama pants, creating material overlays. Cascading effects are created in skirts with washed leather and striped poplin, Micro belts enhance the silhouette and cinch at the waist of light fabric dress inspired by styles of the 1950s. The palette is almost entirely neutral ----when it's not stained with bright colors, red coral forge gritty pea coats, skirts and tops."
