Future Perfect: Eckhaus Latta Fall/Winter 2014

Eckhaus Latta's latest collection is reminiscent of a wardrobe from the near future, in the best possible way. Oversize pieces in muted colors like mauve, light purple, and almost black balance cozy fabrics such as velvet and flannel. Cone-like, drapey details as seen on the MOHAIR VELVET CUT-OUT BACK DRESS and wide-leg, mesh pants aptly called POWERMESH TROUSERS look like they were made for the 2077 version of Saturday Night Fever. Of course, all of this makes the futuristic pieces more covetable in our eyes.

Since Eckhaus Latta's beginnings in 2012, the brand has always been all about texture-—think plastic, supple velvet and translucent leather. Interestingly, the RISD grads behind the brand—-Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta—typically source the majority of the fabrics in their collections from closeout and dead-stock resources, making their pieces all the more exclusive. The duo has gone as far as sourcing an IKEA cowhide rug to create a pair of shoes. And this season is no exception as far materiality goes. Never before have we wanted to mix flannel, velvet, and mesh all at once.

The designers once told OC, "We never fully disclose information or answer questions properly. We prefer to leave it open for interpretation." We're intrigued, and ready to wear the brand's flannel wrap dresses into fall's chilly days, even it means we're just stuck pretending to be a cool kid from the future.
