EVA is beginning to stock the floors with the Fall collections and there’s something for everyone in the first three arrivals from Sally Lapointe, Bedford St. Laundry and Hache.

From Sally, think a striking monochromatic white and black palette with pieces including ultra-cropped jackets, unexpected materials such as neoprene and latex, loose tops with bold printed graphics, sturdy miniskirts and long, hand-printed, elegantly draped gowns.

From Bedford Street Laundry’s first-ever collection, think rich Fall hues of green, purple, and, of course, black, found in colorblock dresses, angular cocoon coats, assymetrical cropped jackets and cardigans, skintight legging-like pants, and unexpected design details like a jacket with a twisted back.

Lastly, from Hache think exaggerated cuts, rich fabrics and convertability, with pieces including a draped black knit dress with a hidden clip on the front that can create two diverse looks, a sweater with an oversized neckline that can function as a hood or fall down the back, and Hache’s take on a traditional knit top with triangular side inserts to create volume- reminiscent of a gored skirt.

SIMPLE NOT BASIC: THE LATEST FROM HACHE

Hache, an Italian-based brand rooted in excellent craftsmanship, believes that simple is always best. Though simple pieces are at the core of their company, basic pieces are not. Yes, Hache pieces are easy to wear, comfortable, practical and smart but these qualities do not equate to basic. Rather, Hache pieces are well designed clothes with an air of simplicity to them that is the result of constant questioning, problem-solving and fabric innovation.

This season, Manuela Arcari, Hache’s lead designer since 1990, has redeveloped basics into contemporary staple garments that are seemingly designed for the tricky transitional weather that New York City faces every year. The knitwear collection is comprised of simple yet effective details such as paneling, fastenings and gathering. True to Hache’s methods of reimagining and revisiting, the selection of HACHE at EVA has new shapes and tailoring that are just as easy on the body as they are on the eyes.

Key fastenings and exaggerated cuts mean these garments interact with the body intimately, thus must be worn to fully understand the experimental nature of their shape and flow off the hanger. Think: a draped black knit dress with a hidden clip on the front that can create two diverse looks, a sweater with an oversized neckline that can function as a hood or fall down the back, and Hache’s take on a traditional knit top with triangular side inserts to create volume- reminiscent of a gored skirt.
