It's not that I didn't like this collection, as I am lust over several pieces. But I wasn't sure what this show wanted to be.
Equestrian meets Teddy Boy in the Highlands?
Then along comes urban modern goth?
There was also lots of this. Loads of this.I wouldn't kick this drawstring leather trench out of bed, though, that's for sure. Nor the pompom hat. Although I admit that by the end of the show, I was tiring of the big pompom. Indicative of a lot of repetitive looks in this show.
However, look for Monarchy in boutiques here. Because really it's a bit of a dream to look Teddy Boy, Scottish Highlander and equestrian all at once. And Eric Kim, Monarchy's designer, is one to watch for a harder-edged, American-based aesthetic.

I am going to bow down to your husband's mustache. It is pretty much very awesome. =)
I definitely need a new leather jacket...or a cool vintage one!
Looking gorgeous at your model party by the way
Isn't it cool to be a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll at the same time? I think that if I had seen a show with looks all reflecting one theme, it would have been boring. Monarchy mixed it up while still maintaining a merchandised show. And the men were stunning!
I love your category mash-ups!
thanks, Farren, i finally got him to shave his beard, couldn't take it any longer.
bowerbird - that leather coat is fantastic, one of my favorite pieces in the show.
anon - oh, the men were stunning, well said!
sister - thanks!
Ooooh at the men's hats and the ladies hoodies!
