Q: What’s black and white and fleeced all over?
A: A Seattleite at the opera.
Like you haven’t heard that one before.
But fashion times in the Pacific Northwest, they are a-changing. The latest evidence: en pointe label Pencey.
The NY-based line — a collaboration between celebrity stylist/former Kitson buyer Christina Minasian and former L.A.M.B. designer Tora Lopez — launched this season with just-edgy-enough designs that are available only in a handful of stores, including one in the prettiest metropolis by the sea.
A jeweled cashmere jersey tank and drapey wrap teeter between dressy and casual. Navy wide-leg wool trousers could finally get you out of denim. And twisty-neck modal tees skim the body just right.
Seriously versatile, they’re the kind of pieces that could take you from SoHo to Seattle to Santa Monica.
Hold the Patagonia jokes.
Available at Tulip, 1201 First Avenue (206-223-1790). To see styles, go to pencey.com.
