Store Watch: Glassons

I'll be honest. I don't generally purchase anything from Glassons. It's not just about the quality (you get what you pay for), it's also the fact that they are not pitching to me, so I walk on by and let the young-ins have their fun.

I was interested to see (via FOUREYES) that Glassons' new Creative Director is reinventing the brand. This happened to Country Road in the early 00s when it went from jodphurs, chambray smocks and penny loafers to fashion-forward casual chic. Click the link above for the full FOUREYES article. Below are my favourite looks from the AW13 collection at Glassons. I see some Zara influence coming through, especially with the multi-fabric items like the jackets with the faux leather sleeves:

  1. Ooooh I haven't been into Glassons since I was about 14... If it is changing it might be worth a shot!

    1. I'll keep an eye on things S-Chiddy, and report back. I don't expect the quality to improve greatly but you never know!

  2. Plaid seems to be a big thing this winter. Ugh, and peplums. I remember the first (maybe) time around - I had a peach linen suit with a peplum. Most stylish!

    1. But peplums can be so stylish! Plaid, however, is a bit more tricky. Maybe I should do a post on plaid some time this year...
