Ports 1961 F/W 2016

Honestly, I kind of like the idea of a sweater with a giant pocket for my iPad in the front.

I feel you.

This line is kooky, but something about a lot of it is appealing to me. Maybe I DO need one red sleeve.

Someone let SWINTON know about this.

Also this.

Someone call Gwendoline Christie about this one.

And possibly this one. It's fun to get to pick out celebrities who are likely to wear more unusual ensembles. Sometimes it's nice to play Fantasy Stylist with non-party dresses.

For example, I can see Emma Watson drifting into this sort of style without too much work.

Again, Gwendoline Christie would look good in this. It has many flailing sleeves, but I think she could negotiate them.

Did EVERYONE show outfits with just one sleeve? YOU GUYS I CAN'T. I cannot deal with One Sleeve turning mainstream.

Let's give this to Emma Watson, also. She likes a dress over pants.

Even Bjork needs a trench.

I told you there would be a bath mat!

Rihanna could make this top work.

This is one of those looks where I think, "maybe we should see if Naomie Harris can make this happen."

"Don't forget to throw in something that the department stores will definitely buy. We have to pay the bills."

Who is the new Swinton going to be, you guys? These are the thoughts that I think when I don't want to think about other things.

I'm strongly anti-pit-vent but this color is great.

I am gonna have to agitate for either two leg warmers or none at all.

Ports 1961 F/W 2016

I sincerely and with complete honestly love this skirt.

Ports 1961 F/W 2016

I guess that is meant to look like a throw rug for real.

Ports 1961 F/W 2016

Same.

This is neat, though. Someone send it to Emma Stone, or Jennifer Connelly.

I secretly love this. Wouldn't it be a great surprise if, like, Viola Davis popped up somehere nonchalantly wearing this?

Paging Ms Julianne Moore...

This IS kinda taking the Oversized Sweater Trend to the nth degree.

The arms/sleeves scenario here is a real conundrum.

But this coat is kinda great.

Ports 1961 Fall/Winter 2017
Remember how I said that I like to read the marketing copy that explains the inspiration behind designer lines? This one is good: Home and the house - places of familiarity and comfort - inform the collection. Home is interpreted as a place of safety, which allows one to be comfortable enough to experiment, relax and express personality. Objects, colours and textures from the home inspire the pieces, which are put together with the signature humour and refinement that underlies Ports 1961. Just as our possessions and the objects we choose to live with always reflect the self, these elements suggest and define the taste and style of the Ports 1961 woman. This season, she is prepared, protected and tough. The people at Ports are smart, as this totally undercuts the joke I was going to make about one of these ensembles looking like a bath mat: IT IS A BATH MAT. Well played, friends. Well played.
