FEELING BLUE DE TRAVAIL

Bleu de travail means “working blues.” French farm, factory and train workers wore the heavy canvas chore coats or work coveralls beginning in the late 1800’s. It’s a smash up of cobalt or lapis blue, but I like the romanticism of calling it Blue De Travail.

At A Glance, May

What I find new and notable for the month.

Nili Lotan, Silk Duchess Tuxedo Blazer is the quintessential white blazer. I see it draped over one’s shoulders all year long.

Alaia Sneaker, I don’t think this Superga x Alaia collaboration is new but since it’s summer it is notable. The Alaia version of the classic Superego platform canvas has just a few differences. The eyelets are silver, the stitch markings on the canvas are a signature double A, and the satin tag says Alaia. The price difference is significant. $510 for the Alaia and $75 for the original Superga.
Superga, This is the original Superga canvas platform.
