Colenimo

Colenimo designer, Aya Nakagawa, doesn't just create a beautiful collection after a beautiful collection. Each of her lines tend to epitomize the aesthetic I aim for each season. Inspired by the 1930's actress, singer, and dancer, most recognized for her role in the musical 42nd street, Ruby Keeler, Aya Nakagawa undoubtedly produced a breath taking Autumn/Winter collection called "A Quarter to Nine". The meticulously constructed garments, which include tailored overcoats, cardigans, knitted leggings and caped dresses, incorporate traditional luxurious materials including vintage Italian suiting fabric, Shetland wool, cashmere angora and hand crocheting. There is a vintage and elegant feel to this collection and lets be honest, class never goes out of style.
