LADIES OF LEISURE SUITS

For fall 2012, the classic leisure suits of the 1970s made a modern-day return – in wild, art nouveau prints at Miu Miu, highly embellished, menswear-inspired form at Prada, and at Rochas, by way of kaleidoscopic hand-painted day suits. To showcase our favorites from the season, we’re traveling back to the heyday of these easy moving leisure suits, inspired by David Klein’s iconic illustrations, visiting the destinations most popular in the years they dominated the travel wardrobe – the 1970s.

In the fall of 1970, our transient woman drops down in Kyoto to visit the waterfall at Kiyomizu-dera. She later takes the train to the world fair in Osaka; Donald Brittain’s Tiger Child is on view.
