Washington, D.C. - October 18, 2006

Central Intelligence

House of Spy

The team at Langley has nothing on us.

Sneaking around boutiques looking for the next big thing. Staking out deliveries at Barneys. Infiltrating Condi’s closet (hey, she looks pretty good for a wonk). 

All trails lead straight to House of Spy, a Canadian label known for its very wearable threads.

We got intel on the fall collection and are happy to report that its imminent arrival in D.C. should only strengthen relations with our neighbor to the north.

Exhibit A: a long-sleeve wrap dress with a leaf and heart design. The perfect wear-anywhere-anytime dress.

Exhibit B: a vintage-inspired suit that at first glance appears to be tweed but on closer inspection proves to be a flexible, textured cotton. Get the cigarette pant and the trumpet skirt. Both look fab with the bell-sleeve jacket.

Exhibit C: a textured wool coat. Allows the wearer to stand out secret-agent style with its double collar and lambskin accents.

Giving being dressed to kill a whole new meaning.

Available at Nana, 1528 U Street NW, between 15th and 16th Streets (202-667-6955).
