Boyish coolness meets feminine elegance! The detailed creations of Ashley Austin remind me of the workman look of the 20ies. She mixes the men’s designs with her own style and creates modern outfits for women. The colors stay natural, as well. Since Ashley has taken old and forgotten buildings as her inspirations, brown and bronze are the obvious main colors. They stand for the old metal, and they are mixed with a stone grey shade.
The casual cloth pants together with the knitted sweater – this is a look which is always wearable. You can wear it for a dinner, for a night out or in the park. The ?-cut and the dominant pleats emphasize the pants’ structure and make your look more individual. I like the combination with the brown striped sweater, where fashionable vintage meets casual design.
Various shirts and leather pieces complete the collection. Also the shorts have this specific boyish cut, but still look feminine. Some dark blue shorts have brown elements made of leather, attached on the pockets. This harmonizes with the blue knitted sweater as well as the white-bronzed shirt. My favorite pieces are the sophisticated leather models! The brown is very natural and the leather skirt as well as the coat have a unique design.
The coolness of vintage fashion can only be spotted on Ashley Austin’s designs – between innocent naturalness and sexy city queen.
