Oh, by the way, talk about seeing clearly…I happened to see the Barneys New York windows on Madison Avenue, and the one item that caught my eye was a black and white houndstooth jacket ($810) and skirt ($495) by Isabel Toledo, a true artist and talent. What sets it apart is the fabulous cut, and the fact that it is deconstructed (but done in a very chic and wearable way). A tiny capsule collection of Isabel’s fall line is currently being sold on the 4th floor, and consists of mainly black items priced from about $800 to $1200 for an elongated black silk taffeta jacket.
