Introducing...Supertrash!

This is an exciting week for us at Montmartre. We are welcoming a super trendy, smart, and fresh brand to the store, Supertrash. They are extremely popular across Europe, but hard to find in the United States.

Luckily, the brand will be available at Montmartre this week!

 

The best part about the designs are that they are extremely versatile. From casual sweaters to chic metallic pants to party dresses, Supertrash covers all the bases.

 

 

This Thursday from 3-9 is our official Supertrash Launch Party! We hope you will come join us to celebrate and shop.

Baby, it's Cold Outside!

It is the great contradiction of fall. Women everywhere break out their chunky sweaters, colorful cardigans, cashmere scarves, and other layering favorites. We create an outfit so utterly "autumn" that we overlook the fact of the season: it is cold out there! As much as we like to pretend that all we need to ward off the chill is a cozy extra-long knit scarf, the sad truth is that our thoughtful, laborious ensembles will soon be hidden underneath a coat. 

But there is good news. This is the Year of the Coat. Textured, patterned, colored, cropped; your coat can be just as unique and trendy as the rest of your cold weather wardrobe. 

This Etro coat is practically a work of art. Prints are hot right now across the board; we love the saturated colors of the paisley print contrasted with the subtle black and white.

Color blocking, metallic, mixed textures...what's not to love about this Hakaan coat? Perfectly glam with a vintage feel, this coat would be an ideal accompaniment to a special date outfit.

If you are more of a classic and polished girl, this Lanvin cape would work wonderfully with riding boots and tights, or skinny jeans and flats.

This Emilio Pucci coat is fit for a modern princess. The oversized white fox fur collar adds a romantic feel to the heather grey shell, while the lining is printed with whimsical and colorful images.

We Love Sweaters

Fall is here! You all know what that means: Pumpkin Spice lattes, golden trees in Central Park, and, of course, sweater shopping. Cozy and classic, sweater season is a particular favorite among New Yorkers. So how do you choose to sport this surprisingly versatile staple? We are taking inspiration from a few of our favorite celebrity style icons.

For a similar look you can find in Montmartre,

try this metallic sweater by Velvet (right).

 

Olivia Palermo exudes casual elegance in a slim fitting cashmere sweater tucked into a calf-length leather skirt. We love that she was able to make a statement out of an otherwise a basic outfit by adding a unique belt and beautiful pointed-toe heels.  (photo credit: Elle.com)

Elizabeth Olsen chose to get edgy with her fall fashion. She pulls off the mixed print trend seamlessly with an abstract print chunky knit sweater and faded animal print jeans. The trick to avoid clashing is to pick a similar color scheme, such as black and white, and choose one piece that is obviously a bolder print than the other, such as Olsen's sweater. Top it off with a floppy hat and colorful heels and you've got street style perfection.  (photo credit: Fashion Snoops) Try our cashmere White + Warren sweater for a comparable style.



The LBD: Then and Now

Chanel's design was featured in Vogue in 1926. Audrey Hepburn donned Givenchy's version in the 1961 blockbuster Breakfast at Tiffany's. Angelina Jolie made a statement and caused a stir in her slit skirt Versace gown at the 2012 Oscars. Any way you wear it, the Little Black Dress has been a wardrobe staple for decades. Here are a few of our favorite looks from Fashion Week.

Calvin Klein's S/S '13 collection seamlessly blended sultry and classic styles, particularly evident in his spin on the LBD. We love the retro silhouette and peplum waist.

A leather version is sleek and modern at DKNY S/S '13. 

Jason Wu S/S '13 featured a frilly and sweet cocktail dress.

And here at Montmartre, we have an LBD for every occasion.

Stop by and stock up!

Nicole Miller Trunk Show

"Wanderlust" is the theme of Nicole Miller's Fall 2012 Lookbook, promising a collection full of whimsy, femininity, and imagination; and the clothes do not disappoint.

Long-sleeve shift dresses are a key item this season. Miller kept them current with distinctive details like her signature slits up the dolman style sleeves and mock turtlenecks. The mod shape and pattern are reminscent of the sixties, the decade of the mini dress. After several seasons of maxi dress obsession, it is refreshing to see a little leg.

Pants are finally taking center stage as statement fashion pieces. For years, pants and jeans varied only in color and cut; this season, the possibilities are boundless. Miller ventured beyond animal print for her Serpent Jacquard Pants (pictured right). Paired with black ankle boots and her black Combo Button Up Blouse, you have a killer Fashion Week ensemble.

If you love her Fall collection as much as we do, then be sure to come shop our Nicole Miller trunk show September 12 from 6-9 pm.
