Like any Elfin look, here, classic suiting was sliced and reconfigured with say, the hem of a sport jacket sitting on a skirt's waist, or on a pair of pants. Bizarre color shots of offset neons and mustard, white gloves and other styling tricks aside, this collection's strength lie in the impeccable tailoring that felt fresh and different, and not just for the sake of being avant-garde.
Winning looks came in office friendly grays, many of them being slightly mannish in their simplicity, the strongest being an elegant gray wool tunic worn with matching pants that could easily give Calvin Klein a run for his money. After all, when you think about gray office ready suiting, it takes a strong hand to ensure the coolness Elfin tackled with his best straight forward looks. -- Naveed Hussain, VagabondNYC
