The Tailor Mottel Kamzoil

Those of you who aren’t well versed in Fiddler on the Roof will think I’m crazy. No, Mottel Kamzoil is not an up and coming designer from Project Runway (though he might be if the show was based in Poland).

I was really feeling this menswear inspired ensemble while prepping for Fashion Week. I cried last time I got on a horse since I consider that a scary height, but I must have been in an equestrian mood. Hey, sometimes I’m feeling the Lower East Side and sometimes I’m feeling Town and Country ( I’d last three minutes tops in that type of environment but I’d look cute). I love a solid three piece suit on any gender. Ideally this kind of look would be super tailored from head to toe, really owning the Savile Row thing. None of the pieces here were bought from either the same store or year, which is proof that you don’t need to ride your polo pony over to RALPH Lauren and shell out thousands to achieve this look. My pants here did have a tapered ankle which jazzed up more expected slacks. Both work well. I loved the classic turtleneck as the base under the fitted tweed vest. I’ve had that vest for easily 15 years. Classic black blazer and a chic bun drive it all home. I love how this is clearly “a look” yet it’s still fresh, modern, and effortless. Menswear on a chick will never get old for me.

So now, Matchmaker Matchmaker, make me a match... that I can share threads with.
