Expressing the Texture and Silhouette of Clothing Itself!



This season, Barneys New York is presenting a clean & cool styling titled “FLAVOR YOUR STYLE 〜GROOVE THE FASHION HERITAGE,” which directly expresses the texture and silhouette of clothing itself.

Buyer Haru Suzuki recommends, “Coordinates that exude adult sophistication, such as adding nuanced accessories to items with simple forms based on white.” She adds, “Keep the color palette for each coordinate minimal, and pay attention to the gradation from white to nude and nuanced colors.”

Maximizing the Appeal of Simple Items

“The designs of the items themselves are about learning from the past to inform the future. I’m focusing on simple, classic pieces that have been loved for a long time. Think well-tailored jackets, cropped pants, long skirts, and accent accessories. Washed or wrinkled finishes, and natural materials like linen that convey texture, are also key this season.”

Keep Colors and Layers Extremely Simple, Add Nuance with Accessories

“This season, there are three tips for styling. First, minimize layering and color blocking. Aim for a cool and simple look with as few colors as possible. Incorporate accessories with a classic nuance. Adding small items like scarves and stoles is also a good idea.”
