Lizzie Owens is a designer who really cares about her customers. One of her 6397’s main goals between the design and sales teams is to respect the customers, which means prices haven’t really changed since the early days. The Milton funnel neck winter coat will be priced under $1,200. “It’s double breasted and a little bit more fitted than we normally do, and the price point is at the top of our range but we still wanted to be really fair to our creative customers,” said Owens.
This season Owens reimagined some classics. She reinterpreted a tweed skirt suit to be more modern and grunge, using soft wool fabrications for a more lax approach to formalwear. For those who want to take in an extra notch in casualness, you can even wear it with a pair of baggy barrel leg jeans. Elsewhere a classic black suit was made in a stiff wool jersey fabrication that not only maintained its structure when worn, but came without the discomfort that can accompany formal attire.
As always 6397’s lookbook was shot in New York just steps away from the label’s SoHo showroom, demonstrating how easily the clothes fit into the surroundings of the city and the real life women who wear the brand. The pieces might not be revolutionary, but the label’s intention of making high quality clothing with creative touches keeps it aspirational and desirable in the highly saturated fashion scene of New York.
