TFW diary: Masculin/Feminin at Paul Hardy

In sharp contrast to his ethereal spring collection, Paul Hardy brought a masculine touch to fall 2011, sending silk camouflage prints, a must-have grey flannel tux pant and menswear-inspired suiting down last night’s runway. While we weren’t fans of Hardy’s footwear choices⎯the bowling shoes were more “strike out” than strike⎯or of the many oddly placed embellishments, we did find ourselves fancying many a shearling vest and Hardy’s sequin bomber jacket had us giddy. Held at the National Ballet Company’s Currie Hall, it would have been a shame if there wasn’t at least one dance number, and Hardy didn’t disappoint, pivoting once again to produce a finale series of floor length ostrich feather skirts fit for a prima ballerina.
