Bridie Morgan

Bold silhouettes, lavish fabrics, and rich colours combined to titlegive Evan & Dean’s Fall Collection the title “Refined Kitch”. Describing designs with an oxymoron While the collection’s name might imply a lack of direction,like this might imply a collection that lacks direction, however, this talented duo managed to combine these contradictory influences to create flawless fusion!

Elegant pieces like the wool, beet- toned Cascade Collar Jacket bring in the introduced a sophisticated side of the theme, even more so when paired with a smartthe smart coinciding pencil skirt. The eccentric aspect of the collection can be found in items like the silk print dress, featuring a maroon on white tie dyed effect and pointed neck tie or the luxurious Lambskin Jacket with a flattering pleated waist. For daring ladies, the Caftan Opera Coat is an unconventional floor length cocoon wrap with a quilted front panel and charming bow tie. that manages to cover both ends of the spectrum. Practical must- haves include the alpaca sleeveless cardigan which features a hood and covers to the knee for those chilly fall adventures or the gorgeous silk corsage dress that is simple enough to throw on with a pair of opaque tights and riding boots or be spiced up with lace leggings and booties.

With more than 30 pieces to choose from, Vancouver’s Raymond Boutet and Lyle Reimer certainly proved once again that they are a dynamic pair. To find something suited to your diverse personality visit www.evananddean.com .
