Timesaver for work, with an edge

Ludlow is a sucker for details. Since this Carven jacket and combo dress are full of them, she absolutely had to have them!

The designer just so happened to have earned his stripes in true couture, where details are the most important thing. Lucky for us, he's applied this same approach to his ready-to-wear collection.

Not only is the ensemble stylish, but also very warm.... the coldest months of the year are still ahead of us (ugh).



Details to point out:
1) The jacket's zip closure and leotard shape at the lower half. This is less noticeable from far away, like this shot, making it still appropriate for even the most stuffy of offices.

2) The grosgrain belt, seen again below, is attached to the jacket. That's right, attached to the inside of the jacket. This makes the jacket stay closed, without being zipped shut. 

3) The shoulders are cool and edgy. Reminiscent of Lady Gaga and also nicely balancing for those with broader hips. 


And the last detail (promise!): the interlacing on the back of the dress.. so cute. The jacket actually has the same detailed interlacing at the back.


For accesories, we'd keep it simple and recommend black stockings, a simple pair of gold earrings and a watch... let all the details make the statement.
