Forme Follows Function

You just missed it.

(The bus. The car in your blind spot. A 70 percent off sale.)

Blame winter. Crappy frozen tundra makes our minds go mushy and our bodies move in slo-mo.

Time to warm things up with a few pieces from Forme. Designer Koeun Park has arrived (by way of Seoul, Paris, Milan, and stints at Chanel and Nina Ricci) with a collection of sleek, sexy outerwear that brings haute couture to everyday pieces.

A form-fitting parka has detailed stitching. Thick-knit sweaters drape in myriad ways. The lovely full-length wool number cinches with an empire-waist belt. Each piece flatters rather than frumps — and still keeps you toasty.

So, finally, this season, you can catch the heat.

Not to mention a break.
