On the rise: Loris Diran

Loris Diran’s rich collection features razor-sharp, classic tailoring in clean, wool suits and dresses perfect for the Wall Street set. But more risky pieces, like a cashmere and mink coat with layered panels, offer a new, hip undertone that may appeal to the young patrons of his recently opened boutique on the Bowery.

This was the first show that Chad and I attended during NY Fashion Week and it remains as one of our favorites. Diran's collection feature brilliant tailoring with luxurious fabrics and intricate details. Each piece is unique and very wearable. [We just wish that he did a better job with casting his models.]

With his evident "Luxury as a lifestyle" concepts, Diran's "Armor" designs seriously suit up the wearer for just that. In both his men's and women's designs, which he folds into a single show, Diran does not play to the fears of the fashion or politically meek, using tweeds, lambskin, angora, fur, and a slim classically "chic" outline for the entire collection.
