FashionWashington SUMMER 2013

During cool months, I’m all about structured black dresses and crisp jackets. But come summer, I send my wardrobe (if not myself) on a breezy vacation. It’s probably because my Mom, a clotheshorse-cum-English teacher, cast aside prim school clothes during her balmy months off, favoring mod-print bathing suits in the ’70s and skin-flashing dresses as she hauled me and my sister around Italy in the ’80s.Retro patterns and subtly revealing frocks are back for summer 2013, along with other easygoing, easy-to-jet-o�-in trends — florals, neons and summer leathers. It’s a season of plenty we celebrate in our cover story (page 11), shot in a great weekend destination, historic, waterfront Annapolis.

Buying trendy designer clothing for tots makes them look cute, but are parents spoiling them and wasting money? PAGE 8

INSIDE

The latest retail scoops include a hip, local bauble maker, an old-

school barber shop and jackets that look and do good. PAGE 6

We spied on the hottest, hautest parties in town, from the

Corcoran’s salute to retro rock to FW’s own spring fashion show

with Allison Parris. PAGE 15

Jennifer Barger, Editor

On the Cover: Overlooking downtown Annapolis, Harry wears a Suno print top and fitted motorcycle pants ($395 and $495, Hu’s Wear), hoop earrings ($455, Tabandeh), a Dina Mackney Designs mother of pearl and 18-karat gold vermeil cu� ($755 Dinamackney.com), Dara Ettinger rings and Pour La Victoire sandals (rings $135 each, shoes $265, Shoe Hive).

This Page: Harry wears a Hoss Intropia jacket and Tracy Reese pants ($410 and $245, Proper Topper), a peach flower ring ($36, Sassanova), clip-on earrings ($265, Tabandeh) and Kate Spade glitter sunglasses ($138, The Shoe Hive). See story on page 11 for store details and credits.

We also give you lots of reasons to stick around D.C. Think details on new stores like heritage-cool clothier Billy Reid in Georgetown and a J. Crew men’s store at Tysons (page 6), luxe parties (page 15) and gorgeous Ballets Russes costumes on view at the National Gallery of Art (page 7). Have a cool, chic summer checking it all out.

1. Hair TacticsPerhaps it’s the well-coi�ed first family or the metrosexuals on H Street, but D.C. is flush with new grooming salons lately. Shaw’s hip BARBER OF HELL’S BOTTOM (818 Rhode Island Ave. NW; 202-332-0200) takes its name from a 19th-century nickname for the then-shifty ’hood. It channels an old-school men’s club with vintage chairs, encaustic tile floors and straight-razor shaves ($50). In June, Manhattan’s Shobha opens a D.C. branch (1730 M St. NW), o�ering waxing and other hair-removal services for men and women.

CHIC CHAT

Billy ReidGeorgetown is known for classic architecture (Victorian rowhouses, redbrick sidewalks) and classic clothing. So it’s no wonder that Deep South-by-way-of-New York designer Billy Reid just set up shop in the historic neighborhood (3211 M St. NW) in digs as all-American as his men’s and women’s clothing. Artifacts — vintage paintings, antique furniture — and weathered floors set the scene for Reid’s made-to-measure men’s suits, o�-the-rack oxfords with edgy stitching or collars, and Gatsby-gone-glam womenswear. We caught up with the CFDA winner just before the store opened. JENNIFER BARGER

People have classified your designs as heritage. But how would you describe them?Anything we’re making, whether it’s a polo or a suit, I want it to be made well enough to last, to be something you can pass down, something that, the more you wear it, the better it gets.

You’re well-known for tailoring. Why is it important?I’ve always been of the philosophy that as much construction as you can put into a garment, the better it is.

Made-to-measure suits are now a big part of your business. Why are they popular?Yes, I think a younger generation has really embraced tailored clothing, and they want nice things. I think younger guys now understand the di�erence between a hand-tailored suit and something machine-made.

6 | FASHION WASHINGTON | SUMMER 2013

How can a guy wear a suit and not be boring?Well, one thing to do is bust it up. Take your tailored jacket and put it with jeans.

Is there anything American men wear that irritates you?Well, I’m not a fan of jorts [jean shorts]. But then I love a pair of old cut-o�s. It’s a subtle di�erence between a hem and frayed edges, but it’s there!

You live and design in the South. Is your work Southern?Well, I spend half my time in New York, so I think that influences the collection, too. My clothes are North-meets-South, downtown-meets-hard-core Americana. It’s just who I am.

1THE SEASON’S COOL ITEMS AND GLAM HAPPENINGS

2. Urban BrightJewelry designer Beth Silverberg lives in Adams Morgan, a D.C. zone known for pretty houses and gritty bars. No wonder, then, that her BETH LAUREN line of baubles (shown, $40-$196, Bethlauren.com), blends hard edges (unpolished metals, angled shapes) and feminine bling (crystal drops, cabochon faux gems). Find her spring collection on her site, Anthropologie.com and Barneys.com. “I stuck to neutral tones,” says Silverberg. “It’s jewelry that works with your wardrobe, though the pieces are still playful in the geometric sense.”

3. Where the (Boy) Buys Are Dandies worried about a shortage of slim-cut suits and madras ties, rest easy. Classic-cool giant J. CREW cements its local foothold with a just-guys store at Tysons Galleria (2001 International Dr., across from its now women’s-only store) and a massive expansion of its Georgetown branch (3222 M St. NW; 202-965-4090). The latter — a 14,000 square foot space — boasts an on-site Ludlow suiting store devoted to JC’s trademark suits (Italian chino, shown, $198-$298). Macho decor in both boutiques — vintage books, reclaimed oak, antique carpet — sets a retro-yet-fresh vibe.

4. Lapel Label“Jackets are good for everything from work to weekends with jeans,” says Marie Whitney, founder of the blazer-centric company TWO PENNY BLUE. Using lush, imported fabrics and American tailoring, the brand turns out conservative-with-a-twist pieces: a waist-defining beauty in red silk (shown, $355), a collarless ikat style ($325). Sherman Pickey (1647 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-333-42120) picked up the line and hosts a trunk show May 30-June 9. Styles not only look good, they do good: For every jacket sold, TPB buys a school uniform for an African child in need.

5. A Casa CallSince 2010, Italian design company BOFFI has showcased contemporary, “are we in Milano?” kitchen cabinets and storage systems in Georgetown (3320 M St. NW; 202-337-7700). Last month, the showroom welcomed fellow Italian manufacturer Maxalto’s minimalst furniture into the sleek space. Think upholstered chairs with solid steel arms (starting at $2,800) and a 63-inch marble-top table ($11,385). “It shows clients how they can decorate their homes from start to finish,” says Julia Walter, manager of the Georgetown showroom.

In our post-millennial era, we’re blitzed by media and entertainment from so many sources and angles — YouTube, pop-up theater, TV ballroom dancing, movies on our phones — that the concept of a true spectacle (as in spectacular, can’t take your eyes o¢ it) seems quaint and nearly impossible.

Costumes, sets and videos revive the arty Ballets Russes at the National GalleryTEXT JENNIFER BARGER PHOTOS COURTESY NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

But a little over a century ago, one man, Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, did just that, harnessing a dazzling array of artists — ballerinas, musicians, painters and fashion designers — to create the

The troupe gets an exhibit worthy of its scope and theatricality May 12 through Sept. 2 at the National Gallery of Art. By combining dozens of vivid costumes, massive backdrops, and related art and video installations, “Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced with Music” recalls the spell-binding world they created.

“Nobody thought ballet could unify the arts,” says Sarah Kennel, co-curator of the exhibit, adapted from a similar 2010 show at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. “Painting, music, dance and costuming had existed before, but the Ballets Russes brought them together in a way that engaged all your senses.”

most innovative and arguably influential dance company of the 20th century.

Diaghilev’s Russian-born, Paris-focused company spun its colorful, kinetic web early in the last century.

Of Fashion and Footwork Of Fashion and Footwork

Stylish finds in the “Ballets Russes” gift shop include these bangles made from ikat material ($25 each), Indian kantha-cloth throws and Art Nouveau-style jewelry. During the show, there will also be gallery talks, dance performances and a Russian-inspired menu from Michel Richard at the museum’s Garden Cafe. 4th and Constitution Ave. NW; 202-737-4215; Nga.gov

A walk through the moody, well-mounted show immerses you in the ballet’s eclectic, always-visually engag-ing path. Displayed in chronological order, items trace the company’s roots in folklore-heavy Imperial Russia (ikat robes from a 1909 production of “Prince Igor,” a beastie-filled, Baltic night sky set for “Petrushka”) through its forays into the fine-art world of 1920s Paris.

The compa ny delved into A r t Nouveau, Cubism and Surrealism in the 1910s and 1920s, documented here via an abstracted costume for a 1918 “Cleopatra” (pictured, center left) and painter Natalia Goncharova’s 1926 back-drop for “The Firebird,” a fabric swath depicting onion-domed buildings that, at 51.5 by 33.5 feet, is the largest object ever displayed in the NGA.

“Diaghilev never wanted to rest on his laurels,” says Kennel. “He was always innovating and redesigning.” Such forward thinking drew some of the biggest creative forces of the era.Composer Igor Stravinsky created the dissonant score for the 1913 “The Rite of Spring,” a production that also meshed folk-arty costumes (shown, far left) and dancer Vaslav Nijinsky’s sharp-edged, almost-violent choreography.

Artists and fashion designers made many Ballets Russes costumes. Think Henri Matisse, whose yellow robe from the 1920 “Le Chant du Rossignol” bears free-form squiggles he painted on fabric, and Coco Chanel, whose flapper-girl (and boy) bathing suit costumes for 1924’s “Le Perlouse” smack of the easy sportswear designs of the era.

Dancers get their due, too. Clad in a stylized toga, Mikhail Baryshnikov leaps in a clip of a 1979 production of “The Prodigal Son” choreographed by George Balanchine (another Ballets Russes alum). Najinsky’s leafy ensemble for “Le Spectre de la Rose” evokes his legendary moves.

It all makes you wish you’d been around to see these productions 100 years ago. But this lively exhibit is as close to a front-row seat as possible.

As a grown woman, it’s odd to be jealous of a child who doesn’t have all her teeth yet and probably still wets the bed. Yet I’m envious of the little girl who gets to own the toddler-sized Dolce & Gabbana pants I spotted on Barneys.com last month. Their kaleidoscopic print of oranges, lemons and white citrus blossoms made me do a double-take. So did the $520 price tag.

Is buying your kids designer clothing a chic money waster or an early lesson in style?TEXT HOLLEY SIMMONS ILLUSTRATION THOMAS PITILLI

8 | FASHION WASHINGTON | SUMMER 2013

Parents buying pricey clothes for kids isn’t shocking in our celeb-obsessed, reta il-centric culture. Think US Weekly and their ilk tracking babies from Celine-covered bump to label-loving tween. There’s even a blog (Suricruisefashion.blogspot.com) devoted to the outfits of TomKat’s

whelming joy every time you look at baby clothing,” says D.C.’s Laura Carlson, 38, a TV researcher, who cops to purchases like a plaid Burberry dress ($145) and a floral Oscar de la Renta number ($150) for her 7-month-old daughter Ava.

Carlson, like some parents, saves the fanciest outfits for special occa-sions — a Milly Minis Hanukkah dress, a first-day-of-first-grade Ralph Lauren Kids sweater. The message here might be, “I want my kids to look great in the Instagram shots,” not, “I’m creating a new generation of shopaholic monster.”

Kids grow out of clothes quickly and they’re hard on them, which is why parents often find high-end children’s garments absurd. “My second-grader spends most of his time skidding on his knees,” says Brook Lancaster, 35, a Falls Church mom of four. “He doesn’t care what brand he wears.”

Maybe, then, we should teach kids to mix high and low. If your 3-year-old daughter pines for sparkly jewels, let her run wild in the accessory section at Forever 21. And if you’re intent on creating an under-5 fashionista, check out designer resale stores. The Purple Goose (2005 Mt. Vernon Ave., Alexandria; 703-683-2918) recently had a tot-sized Burberry jacket (original price $400) marked at $80.

Now, that sounds sensible and stylish.

express their style in a way they couldn’t afford to when young. (Think of the dogged pageant moms on “Toddlers and Tiaras” shelling out thousands for spangled gowns for their kids while they schlump around in old T-shirts.)

And mini regalia lets well-heeled moms and dads display wealth, too. After all, if little Olive or Aiden gets driven to preschool in a Mercedes, a tot-sized Lanvin skirt ($1,185) might not seem ridiculous. And as youngsters get older and more status-conscious, having the “right” brands can help them fit in.

“Parents want the best for their chil-dren, and designer clothing is one way to express love,” posits Lesley Johnson, marketing manager of Poshtots.com, a children’s e-tailer that sells party wear for as much as $575 for a frock.

To be sure, kids clothes, like kids themselves, are awfully cute. “When you’re a first-time mom, there’s an over-

7-year-old. And lest you think serious-minded Washingtonians are above fixating on the fashions of VILP (very important little people), there’s no shortage of analysis whenever the Obama daughters step out in J. Crew.

Perhaps spending a lot on their children’s clothes is a way for parents to

For truly high fashion, little compares to the heels in “Shoe Obsession” ($45, Yale University Press). Peep at over 150 pairs, including Louboutin’s googly-eye pumps and Manolo Blahnik’s Damien Hirst dotty booties.

Dozens of butterflies, soaring feathers and lace horns are among the trims headlining on fab hats by iconoclastic milliner to the stars (and royals) Philip Treacy. The image-filled “Philip Treacy” ($60, Phaidon) goes inside his studio and methods.

Grace Jones makes a dramatic statement in an over-the-top Treacy hat.

ummer signals getting away from it all, whether that means two weeks in Tuscany or a day trip to Annapolis, with its

sailboats and quirky, historic streets (the setting for this shoot). Perhaps that’s why this season’s fashion trends bend the rules a bit. Think sundresses with sultry peek-a-boo cutouts, 1980s redux neon suits, warm-weather leather and a mix of prints that could be stolen from a Hawaiian luau. “You can wear whatever you want on vacation,” says local stylist Lani Inlander of Real Life Style (Real-life-style.com). “It’s a time to take a chance and really embrace things you might not normally try.” Here are a few chic suggestions.

Previous Page: Harry goes bright on the Annapolis city docks in slim pants by Tracy Reese ($245, Proper Topper, 1350 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-842-3055), a Magaschoni tri-colored knit top ($238, Betsy Fisher, 1224 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-785-1975), MICHAEL Michael Kors tangerine heels ($295, Sassanova, 1641 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-471-4400), a peach-colored flower ring ($36, Sassanova) and white clip-on earrings ($265, Tabandeh, Mazza Gallerie, 5300 Wisconsin Ave. NW; 202-244-0777).
