Swingin' in the Rain

Rainy days are a drag - we'd like to hear the song about wilted hair, suddenly sheer shirts, and ruined shoes. These chic raincoats from Norma Kamali and Geoffrey Beene are a stylish girl's weapon in weather warfare.

Norma Kamali early '80s Cocoon Raincoat

Norma Kamali is the undisputed queen of the cocoon and this vivid yellow raincoat proves it. In durable waterproof vinyl (the heavy-duty kind like fireman jackets) and lined in smart checkered flannel, this full-length coat is guaranteed to keep you warm and dry.
Labeled a sz. P, the free shape will fit between a contemporary 0-8. Outer fabric has some cracking and dinge which can be easily fixed.

Don't forget your coats and jackets

Shopping for Spring is easy - after months of layering, everyone's entertaining fantasies of kicky little dresses and open-toed shoes. Fall/Winter presents a quandary: no one wants to try on down coats in 98% humidity but wait 'til the last minute and you're stuck with the leftovers.

Here are our favorite Fall picks, guaranteed to entice even the most die-hard beach bunnies with visions of snowy romps and glowy-cheeked window shopping.

1970s CALVIN KLEIN PEA COAT

**click to enlarge**

This classic camel Pea Coat from Calvin Klein is straight out of Love Story - think Nordic knit hats and knee-high boots (dashing heir fiancee optional). A mid 70s gem that really demonstrates why Mr. Klein is known as the greatest American designer. A classic piece with polish and panache, you'll wear this one from October straight through March.
In very good condition (just missing a button from the belt), about a contemporary sz. 4.

70s JAEGER WOOL CAPE

**click to enlarge**
People are all aflutter about capes for F/W and this delight from Jaeger makes it easy to see why. The chestnut brown wool drapes beautifully from the shoulder - this is what people mean by clothes that "move". No size label but will fit quite a range. Full length, in excellent condition. We also have this cape in black velvet (pictures coming shortly)

TO-DIE-FOR FENDI SUEDE COAT

**click to enlarge**

This buttery red suede coat from Fendi is reminiscent of a 19th century redingote. With its josephine waist, full glamorous pleats, and high quilted collar, it may just be the definition of Autumnal chic. Fully lined in Fendi logo red, hidden buttons, and romantic sleeves.
Labeled a 42, contemporary 4-6, ca. late 1970s. Gently worn but in overall good condition.


UNBELIEVABLE PLAID UNGARO

**click to enlarge**
We're swooning over the exaggerated plaid on this Emanuel Ungaro boucle wool coat. The details on this one aren't fully captured by the camera - inverted pleats towards the oversized pockets give it a swingy cocoon shape and the mid-thigh length makes everyone look leggy.
Sz. 42, fits up to a modern 8, immaculate condition.

Life is a banquet - and most poor suckers are starving to death!


**click images to enlarge**

Channel your inner (or outer) Auntie Mame in this acid yellow peau de soie shirtwaist. With its impeccable tailoring, domed rhinestone buttons all the way down, and full structured skirt, this is one show-stopping piece! Wear it as shown - laissez-faire attitude not included - or thrown on over cigarette pants and a fitted tee as a dramatic evening coat.

Stitched-in Marshall Field label (this looks like a custom piece), darted and pleated for maximum hourglass impact, about a modern 2-4. Actual color is slightly greener (truly acid yellow).
