South Willard’s spring/summer 2010 line via Secret Forts is a smart capsule collection of quilted spring jackets, Japanese denim and another iteration of the West Third Street boutique’s shoe collaboration with Quoddy. Too bad that spring delivery doesn’t hit for many moons: The thermals and (down?) vests seem perfect for the low-50s mornings we’ve recently experienced.
Of the collection, SW owner Conder writes: “The line is heavily inspired by growing up California, and the subtle changes in the landscape through the seasons that are noticed by the discerning eye. Somehow we wanted to make these clothes modern but with a light hand.”
