Bend and Snap

AnGG Clothing

You’ve mastered the Disheveled Monk, Mismatched Sage, and Bedraggled Geisha.

Young Grasshopper, it’s time you moved on to something more fitting. Take note from AnGG clothing designer Angela Gao.

The Parsons grad and martial arts enthusiast balances the mind-body connection just so. (How many Doo.Ri and DKNY alums do you know who’ve spar-trained with the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon cast?)

For fall, study new wave basics with a military edge. Reversible sweaters, stretch pants, asymmetrical sweatshirts, and vests come in colors from purple to olive green. Turtlenecks and oversize jackets befit any stylish sensei’s closet.

Details like exposed zippers, grommets, and hoods strike a chord between come-hither and kick-ass.

After all. Such things require discipline.

Available at Sabot, 45 Irby Avenue, West Buckhead (404-816-0077). To see styles, go to angelagao.com.
