The post-vacation state of mind grounded 10 Crosby’s Pre-Fall offering—that fuzzy afterglow that follows a summer holiday. “The idea of coming back, taking that mind-set, and incorporating it into your workwear wardrobe,” design director Shawn Reddy explained, citing vintage travel prints and flea market finds as touch points.
The 10 Crosby customer still wants an easy suit. This collection delivered a slew of them, the standout being the Tang orange utility suit cinched tightly by a lime green belt. Reddy also toyed with a new type of two-piece set: a tunic dress and pant cut from the same cloth, to also be worn as separates. Aside from day suiting, accessories are a promising category for the contemporary line. Here, there were chain-link chokers with agate stones and matching earrings; similar chains with souvenir-like stone charms tied small bucket bags and looked like sure pleasers.
