Little Miss Complicated

Gestuz Winter Collection

You’re one part Charlotte Gainsbourg with a dash of M.I.A. (Translation: You’re not afraid to take risks and somehow avoid looking like an a-hole when you do.)

Which means the newest offerings from Danish design collaborative Gestuz will be right up your alley.

We love the collection’s devil-may-care mix of textures, fabrics, and patterns. The trousers have boxy cuts and slouchy silhouettes (pair them with a delicate, sheer cardigan for the perfect combination of masculine and feminine). Jackets, ranging from tailored-to-a-tee to squarish and oversize, finish off a pencil skirt or pair of pants.

Whether in leather or wool, architectural cuts or soft ruffles, the dresses have something to charm pretty much everyone.

Except, perhaps, the Antichrist.

Available at Sugarcube, 124 North Third Street (215-238-0825 or sugarcube.us). To see styles, go to gestuz.com.
