The same thinking applied to her new extra-long cashmere cardigans; a spangly silver Lurex blouse with full sleeves; and a body-skimming, sapphire velvet turtleneck dress. They’re familiar pieces with tweaked details and fits; almost everything chez Lotan has a languid, shrugged-on drape, so you can’t help but look cooler.
Rock ’n’ roll is the thread weaving through every Nili Lotan collection, but this one felt particularly badass, thanks in part to those leather pants, but also her model, Jamie Bochert. She’s Lotan’s ultimate muse; on her, even a chunky turtleneck has swagger. The same was true of the handful of blazers Bochert wore, either with matching trousers or baggy twill pants. In gray plaid, pinstripes, leather, or velvet—single- or double-breasted—those jackets were a big focus for Lotan, but they didn’t feel “menswear inspired” or corporate. They just felt right.
