J Mendel Fall 2016
"This is really NEAT," was my knee-jerk reaction. I AM A WORDSMITH. But it IS neat. The texture is interesting, and it's super cozy.

Is Reign even still on TV? If so, I know its costumer is like, "I WISH PEOPLE KNEW REIGN WAS STILL ON TV, also I plan to buy this if I can."

I will also note, as we get into this, that I actually can see a lot of these on celebs, if said celebs can rustle up the cash and influence to nab themselves some couture. Like, I can see Emma Stone popping up at a photo call in this.

And this is lovely, even with the unusual length and cut outs. I would LOVE to see, say, Constance Wu get this for the Emmys.
J Mendel Fall 2016
For when Lady Gaga wakes up feeling kind of blue.
J Mendel Fall 2016
When Rihanna wakes up and she's FREEZING everywhere below the shoulders.

...pass. NEXT!
J Mendel Fall 2016
For those days when you just long for the feeling that your fur is slowly sliding down your body.
J Mendel Fall 2016
There was, in fact, a lot of fur in this collection.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Does the sheer influenza need to infect coats, too? DOES IT? WHY?
J Mendel Fall 2016
I'm never going to love the arm warmers, but the beading on this is rather divine.
J Mendel Fall 2016
At some point, everyone at J Mendel was like, "what can we do with SLEEVES, you guys? THINK!!!"
J Mendel Fall 2016
J Mendel by Arya Stark, this fall at fine retailers near you.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I must confess, there is a huge part of me that wants to swan into an event wearing this, throw a drink in someone's face, and storm out.
J Mendel Fall 2016
This is beautiful. Imagine a world where Lupita took this for a spin. I would die.
J Mendel Fall 2016
This looks like a fur sleeping bag that is revolting against the tyranny of being a sleeping bag, and ergo I also want someone to try to wear this and get away with it. But it would have to be somewhere VERY COLD INDEED.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Just TRY IT, Julianne Moore!
J Mendel Fall 2016
Cookie Lyons might need a fur dress, right? (It's an achievement when your line could outfit women on Reign and Empire alike, and that's not sarcasm. Reign and Empire are both really well-costumed.)
J Mendel Fall 2016
Apparently, SHOULDERS ARE HAPPENING, you guys.
J Mendel Fall 2016
What did I just say? Actually, this is great, in a Woman of a Certain Age in the 90s kind of minimalist way. I want Judith Light to wear it.
J Mendel Fall 2016
This might be ear-marked for my beloved Johnny Weir.
J Mendel Fall 2016
This is straight-up bonkers, but I also kind of love it? Let's see if Cate Blanchette can make it work.
J Mendel Fall 2016
So, yeah. A lot of this is screaming WINTER IS COMING.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I wish I like this color combo more than I do. It's a bit The Best Kitchen Appliances of the 70s for me, personally.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I kind of love this, though.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I love the top of this, believe it or not.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Let's hand this to J Lo. I think she can handle it.
J Mendel Fall 2016
What about for Marion Cotillard?
J Mendel Fall 2016
For the starlet who decides she's in a real Joan of Arc mood.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Why don't we volleyball this over to Jessica Chastain?
J Mendel Fall 2016
How cold does J Mendel think these formal events are gonna be??!
J Mendel Fall 2016
But this is kind of amazing, almost medieval.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Rihanna has totally already ordered this. She LOVES a robe.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I mean, cozy? I have a (faux) throw on my sofa that looks very much like this tunic.
FW16 J MENDEL PARIS COUTURE 07/05/2016
I want everyone to push her sleeves up, but this is really beautiful.
J Mendel Fall 2016
I want Kate Middleton to pop up in this and blow all our minds.
J Mendel Fall 2016
Anne can wear this one.
J Mendel Fall 2016
This is STUNNING. What about on my beloved Lucy Liu, at the Emmys?
J Mendel Fall 2016
Cozy! You take this and run with it, Celine Dion.
