Sewell launches 'Yasmin Sewell Barneys New York'
“We were thinking of a lot of people, but I thought of Yasmin in particular because she has a very strong sense of personal style — she’s mindful of trends but isn’t trendy,” said Tomoko Ogura, Barneys’ senior fashion director. “I knew she would understand that we’re a store at the end of the day and we need to sell.”
The capsule collection, which was made in Italy, offers outwear, knitwear, dresses and easy separates that reflect Sewell personal taste. “I had to think global," she said to British Vogue, when asked about the design process for the line.
“It had to be wearable enough, elegant enough, commercial enough - but also each piece had to be the kind of item you know you'll want to hang on to forever. I kept all the silhouettes pretty sophisticated, but really pushed on fabric, colour and of course quality, which wasn't an issue at Barneys. The collection is produced by one of the best makers in Italy.”
Prices for the collection range from 295 dollars, or 173 pounds according to current exchange rate to 1,495 dollars (875 pounds) and is currently available online and instore at Barneys.
