Season after season, Surface to Air nails what quietly confident, cool girls want to be wearing at the moment. On-trend without being overtly so, the cult Paris brand s new Spring collection includes boxy, military-inspired parka jackets loaded up with utility pockets (no purse required), as well as shrunken, patchwork denim jackets and second-skin stovepipes similar to those the fashion set is coveting from Phillip Lim s recent outing. Priced to ring in at around $220, the S2A jeans will be slightly easier on the wallet.
Art and music have always been an integral part of the lifestyle label s DNA, and S2A continued its noteworthy collaboration series here with a capsule of silk maxi dresses and bombers featuring prints taken from Aaron Young s oeuvre. Fans of the artist-about-town should recognize his signature motorcycle burnout marks streaking over a tropical palm-tree backdrop. We can imagine Young s girlfriend Laure Heriard Dubreuil turning up in one of the looks at an Art Basel Miami Beach party in December.
