'12 SS Jenni Kayne

2012 Spring Summer
Jenni Kayne

"Country-club chic combined with urban athleticism" is how Jenni Kayne described this season's collection, a reference point she claimed to have arrived at with a little help from Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Kayne deals in familiar basics turned rich, like a lace pencil skirt in bright pink with a razor-frayed edge, or a black leather moto jacket soft and lightweight enough to be worn as the top of a flirty suit. At the designer's low-key presentation, where items were grouped by delivery, you had a chance to touch the fabric and see details, like the sliver of silver running through a breezy white jacket with zippered pockets. While the collection was understated as ever overall, embellishment came in the form of densely knit matte white sequins on a long, strapless dress and a tee. Easy enough to wear to the club, cool enough for a night of urban athleticism.
