UNDER.LIGNE by DOO.RI (New York) Perforated Lambskin Drape Skirt

Perforated genuine lambskin over jersey is artfully draped for a modern, slightly asymmetrical silhouette on this under.ligne by doo.ri skirt. Also featuring a stretch waistband and draped pockets, this very stylish piece will add some real character to a true fashionista's wardrobe.
(RRP US$595)

UNDER.LIGNE BY DOO.RI
Doo-Ri Chung started crafting a clothing line for women in the basement of her parents' dry-cleaning business. By 2006, she had won the CFDA emerging talent award for women’s wear. Since then, Chung, who is known for creating elegant pieces in draping jersey, has kept a low profile -- she has no standalone boutiques, instead sells her signature collection (Doo.Ri.) in high-end stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, and Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong. Two years ago, Chung finally launched a second line called under.ligne (pronounced "Under Line"). In just a year, 150 under.ligne outlets have opened around the world, and the line has become more profitable than Chung's main collection and is now her company’s primary source of growth.

Tassels and fringes used to be symbols of wealthiness and power for military generals and priests. This season though, they’re such a major trend that they’re embellishing everything from clothing and handbags to shoes and jewellery.

MARIA SHARAPOVA by COLE HAAN

"If I weren’t playing tennis, I'd probably be in school for fashion or for interior design," said tennis star Maria Sharapova. In 2008, while steering clear of competitive play as she rehabed from injury, Sharapova began a long-term partnership with Cole Haan, the American label who's been making footwear -and now fashion too- since waaay back in 1928.
Exemplifying Sharapova's passion and joie de vivre, the
Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection debuted in Spring 2009.

As a subsidiary of Nike, Cole Haan enjoys many spill-over benefits of Nike’s innovative technologies. The Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan Air Bacara Mary Jane not only has the classic and adorable style of our favourite Mary Jane, it also features Nike Air cushioning, which reduces shock and distributes pressure as you walk.
Pretty enough to make a statement, casual enough to slip on when you're on-the-go :-)
