FASHION | Anatomy of an Autumn Witch
Velvet, leather, celestial jewelry and the art of dressing for the season
Autumn has a way of making fashion feel romantic again. The season invites us back into texture, layers and objects that seem to carry a little history: worn leather boots, heavy knits, velvet dresses, antique-inspired jewelry and colors borrowed from leaves, earth and fading flowers. The autumn witch is less a costume than a mood, built slowly through pieces that feel collected, personal and slightly mysterious. This is our anatomy of the look, from the clothes and textures to the celestial details that finish it.
1. Pearls & Silver Tray
