Touches of soft tailoring, through the use of relaxed silhouettes, harness the fluidity of feminine and masculine silhouettes. Pleating and button down’s are a subtle nod to the uniform Gage wore all throughout middle school and highschool. Structured cottons, supple wools, and soft silks, are adorned with whimsical details, yet grounded by the wearable fabrics.
Details explode through No. 2 pencils made into fringe, leaping horses, and rope used to emulate the classic bendy erasers. An ode to the book fair, each motif references a favorite book or memory from.
MELKE’s The Book Fair balances nostalgia and joy, focusing on the importance of disconnecting and delving into a good book.
