Sail Away {Nonoo S/S 2012}
08/03/2012 § 5 Comments
Exhibiting a rare marriage of my love of tailoring, travel and delicate gowns that appear to float upon the skin, the spring/summer 2012 Nonoo collection by New York-based designer Misha Nonoo has my complete attention. I so rarely find a designer that manages to incorporate all of my style idiosyncrasies in a single line that when I saw some of the images from this lookbook on Diana’s blog, I actually gasped audibly — it’s as if she somehow managed to put La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday and To Catch A Thief in a sartorial blender. And you know that’s directly up my alley (and straight to my doorway)…
Gorgeous campaign aside, what I love most about this Nonoo collection is its elegance and universality. The clothes would work on a girl of 17, her mother and maybe even her grandmother. Nonoo is classic, just the right amount of sensual, and it definitely needs to hop in my bag for a trip somewhere fabulous and romantic. I have a feeling it would all pack rather well, don’t you?

Sidenote: Dying to know where these pictures were taken. Anyone know?
They were taken at the Porto Ercole seaside in the Tuscan Riviera (see Nonoo’s blog on the label’s site). I agree with everything you said about the line
Of course! It had to be Tuscany! Thanks very much Sarah.
I want to be on holiday NOW. So lovely./
So pretty! I love the pics!
From Brooklyn with love,

That model was a finalist on Britain’s Next Top Model! She didn’t win but every photographer who shot her absolutely loved her look (with good reason). So happy to see her doing well! She’s perfect for this designer.
