Josie Natori – the highs & lows in fashion for 2011/2012

Josie Natori, the designer famed for her seductive designs in the lingere department, has struck a deal with Target to create a line that will launch around October 31st for the Christmas season and January for Valentine’s Day.  The line will create a middle ground for the luxury cuts and fabrics she’s built her empire on.

But what will you wear over it?  The Natori collection, of course.

Natori’s presentation during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was filled with metal metal metal.  It started off with a custom kimono (available for order only)

Most of the collection was in black or muted tones, but when there was color, it popped.

I am completely enamored with hammered metal. As a belt and forearm cuff? Die.

The guests were stylin’ as well. Her eyes matched her fur which matched her matcha. Her lips and nails dead on. This is a case where I loved matchy-matchy.

This outfit is so fantastically 80’s!  It featured a top piece that acted like an infinity scarf or cowl neck, which could be removed. 

MAC’s Ruby Wu was the red lip of the day, with Old Gold pigment

Natori’s presentation centered around the Japanese Tea Ceremony

Of course I had to ask. Josie wore YSL nail lacquer.
