Milkin’ It

John David Collection

Milk made you many promises: strong bones, beautiful skin, and the healthy body of an ’80s-era commercial model.

But sometimes you feel like that scrawny kid again.

Local line John David Collection can help. It captures retro glam in a new twelve-piece collection sold exclusively at vintage shop C. Madeleine’s. The Gen Art fashion show originals exude an ’80s vibe with details like shoulder pads, asymmetrical lines, and pleating.

Work those legs in high-waisted silk taffeta shorts. Show off your silhouette in a fitted, three-quarter-sleeve bolero jacket. Or reveal some decolletage in a drapey cowl-neck silk top.

The collection comes in a shimmery palette of silver, lilac, white, and pink. And designer John Schoemann, a former physical therapist, shows a genuine appreciation for the female form.

It does a body good.

Available at C. Madeleine’s, 13702 Biscayne Boulevard, North Miami (305-945-7770 or cmadeleines.com). To see other collections, go to johndavidcollection.com.
