September 8th is a big, (make that major) day for fashion; it's the opening day of TIFF, NYC's Fashion's Night Out and the first chance for Canadians to scoop up super-stylist George Antonopoulos' new collection for Danier. OBJECT takes leather to a whole new level; forget stiff, bulky and shapeless - in George's hands, the pieces become sleek, chic and utterly sophisticated. “My philosophy behind OBJECT was creating modern classics in leather that are effortlessly integrated into anyone’s wardrobe. Attainable and affordable, the designs are investment pieces translated in leather to create a new language of dressing”, says Antonopoulos.
In my perfect world, I would snap up the cotton jersey and leather shirt (divine!), the wear-anywhere dresses (yes, please!), the graphic black bangles and the croco-print iPad case.
Want to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the making of OBJECT? Check out the Coveteur's story on the making of the collection. I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of leather but when it's done right? I want. I want. I want.
OBJECT for Danier is available starting today at these select stores (click below to drool over the rest of the collection) Pieces range from $249 - $999.
