AUTUMN/WINTER 2011
“Coon has always had a strong sense of line, which she emphasized this time out, but she also remains a lively surrealist. To wit, her tuxedo-tailed pencil dress, which was festooned with a wildly oversized leather bow, and the giant backpack, made of leather stamped to look like python.
Coon also made Dada-esque use of faux fur: Though a wool wrap jacket lined with that material and sporting a large fur collar was wearably glamorous, a coat-dress in leather and fur struck a more comic note.
The designer proved her range, taking confident command of a formal tone.”

My inspiration for this collection started with a picture of my family in the late 70s; I thought my mom was so chic. I came up with a very film-noir esthetic for the collection, which is very chic, but also very dark.
