Humberto Leon and Carole Lim introduce functionality and their undeniable cool factor for their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection for Kenzo. Every look cooler and more desirable than the the next. Modern and chic yet very suitable for the life of the city woman on the go:

One of our new house codes is functionality. In our previous collection it meant reversibility, garments that could be worn inside out. For Fall, we’ve created garments with zip-off pieces that provide an element of transformation – a coat will zip-off to become a cropped jacket and skirt. We also focused on technological fabric treatments, like rubberized exteriors on coats to fend off rain.

Combining Baja prints with a street edge the collaboration between Yael Aflalo of Reformation  and Michelle  Zacks of Spring & Clifton available today is perfect for that time of year when in their own words”everyone is sick of their winter wardrobe.” Easy to love pieces with just enough color to be uplifting and a cameo by Skate legend Steve Olson. Take a peek on the flip and get it all here.

In our second installment of  “Steal from the Boys,” Damali Elliott  founder of not-for-profit young women’s organization Petals -N- Bells, wears a mix of greys and camouflage for a look that is chic with a masculine street edge. Details and more images on the flip. Styled by Highsnobette, photography by Sandbox Studios. Make-up by Rosemarie.

France based Goemaï’s concept is to perfect the quintessential jacket in various forms. Their latest collection launched at Ln-Cc  features a scuba theme, we see as a  great anchor to the sportier side of style. Wear any of them with  something unexpected for an above average look. See the assortment here.

Described as the ”ultimate hero jacket with a genuine piece of history sewn in,” Denham the Jeanmaker’s latest women’s creation is a special edition “Spy” biker jacket combining antique textiles from Bangkok and leather.

Created on narrow hand-looms and dyed using ancient resistance-wax techniques, these fabrics are among the most beautiful in the world of indigo cloth. The team was able to procure a mix of antique textile items, such as accordion skirts and simple smocks, as well as unstitched textile yardage. The final range of fabrics included both very old specimens and examples of indigo fabric as it is still woven and treated by tribes like the Hmong today.

If hitting the slopes is in your near future this holiday we highly recommend taking a look at B by Burton, the label’s  most Snobette appropriate snow gear collection.
