Guests at the duo’s Creatures of the Wind presentation packed tightly under the Desmond Tutu Center’s vaulted ceiling last night to catch a glimpse of their waxed leather circle skirts and metallic jacquard cropped pants. The 24-look collection stayed true to the brand’s DNA — “We really love color, we really love texture, and we really love patterns together,” Gabier noted after the show — but it also explored new territory. A first foray into eveningwear produced a floor-sweeping, tiered mint chiffon dress, which Gabier would love to see on Kirsten Dunst: “She really epitomizes [the brand].” But, he adds, “We try to keep that open, limiting it to one specific girl. I think PJ Harvey would look really fantastic in it, too.” The label’s knitwear offering was expanded upon (pale blue mohair sweaters! cashmere dresses!), and Gabier and Peters tried their hand at a full shoe collaboration, producing point-toed metallic cut-out boots with Tabitha Simmons, who Gabier calls “the best collaborator ever.” And staying true to their Second City roots, the pork pie hats which topped off many of the looks were done with Chicago-based millinery Optimo Hats. The string that tied all of these elements together? A fixation on Scottish clergyman Robert Kirk’s 1691 expose, The Secret Commonwealth: Of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies, and the doorway between the real world and the fairy world. “It’s always about atmosphere, that’s always kind of our starting point,” Gabier explained.

Although Camila Alves enjoyed showing off her rose-cut engagement ring—fiancée Matthew McConaughey popped the question on Christmas Day—while she waited for Yigal Azrouel to start, she insisted that she’s not just a diamonds-and-furs girl. Besides the occasional shopping stop at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, the model admitted that she’s also a serious thrifter. “I like to go to the middle of nowhere—I found really good places in Arkansas! I love Austin for vintage shopping, and there are some really good places in L.A., too,” she says. The key, according to Alves, is endurance: “You have to make sure that you have plenty of time and patience, since there can be a lot of stuff to go through. Just the other day, in Texas, I walked into a place and had no patience—I was like, ‘I gotta walk out of here and come back another time.’” She attributes part of her thrifting success to seeing the potential in items that aren’t perfect. “A lot of times you find pieces that are really great, but people—because it has rips or it doesn’t fit them right—go, ‘I’m not going to get it.’ But with vintage you pay, like, $2, and then you pay a little bit for alterations,” Alves explains. “You get it, then you take it to someone to fix it, and then it’s worth it—and it ends up being less expensive [than something new]!” But her vintage obsession has created one problem: an over-stuffed closet. “I have vintage things that I got nine, 10 years ago, and every time I clean my closet, I can’t get rid of them,” says Alves, adding, “I think, ‘I will never find this again!’”

The only place you’ll find more men then women during fashion week is at anything Billy Reid. This season, the beloved Alabaman staged his first proper runway show—after many seasons of packed presentations—on the West Side Highway. And though Reid’s probably better known for his award-winning, well-tailored, no nonsense men’s wear—hence the rows filled with sharply dressed teams from Park & Bond, Mr. Porter and Esquire—it was the women’s wear that had editors buzzing. “Did you see that women’s wear man? It was killer!” we overheard one GQ editor say on the way out. Killer might be the best word to describe the strong silhouettes, trimmed in leather and topped with wide-brimmed suede hats. Reid showed women’s bags, too—about the size of suitcases—and made great use of navy blue leather. Needless to say, he also showed some of the best coats we’ve seen thus far. Now that he’s conquered the world of men’s wear, it looks like Reid’s turning his attention to his loyal female fans—they won’t be disappointed.
