Gauze and Effect

Koi Suwannagate Resort 2009 Collection

There are times when augmentation is a good thing. (Cleavage, your pathetic salary.)

But for designer Koi Suwannagate, less is always more.

Known for attention to detail and combinations of rich textures, the La-La-Land designer embraced both in her elegantly simple resort collection, while adding playful nuances.

For casual cashmere with a flirty edge, try the sleeveless candy red shell adorned with crinkled chiffon details at the shoulders with pearl shimmer trousers. Her ultra-thin white tank with navy chiffon floral appliques will heat things up. But you’ll have them falling at your feet in a winter white cap sleeve tunic dress with a gauze inlay.

All necessary supplements to your wardrobe.

Available at Carrots, 843 Montgomery Street, between Jackson Street and Pacific Avenue (415-834-9040 or sfcarrots.com). To see styles, go to koisuwannagate.com.
