Let Them Wear Juma

Ladies in waiting. Pornographically delicious towers of cake. At first glance, Marie Antoinette had it made.

But there was a down side: Poor thing had a rather grizzly ending. And wore scratchy, constricting corsets every day.

Better to go for understated, Sofia Coppola-style glamour. Which is just what you’ll get with Movement Juma, a Toronto-based label making its Seattle debut this season.

The line takes dressy, cocktail party-appropriate patterns but does them brilliantly in ultra-comfy fabrics like sueded fleece and enzyme-washed jersey. Snuggly dresses with overlay pouches; tulip-shaped jacquard skirts; and warm, architectural hoodies fit right in with your hectic, modern life.

So no matter what the fashion situation, you’ll be cool, calm, and collected.

And sure to keep your head.
