When Lauren came back from Paris Fashion Week in March she also brought back this exquisite Rick Owens gilet that I have been dreaming about ever since, while she has patiently been waiting to wear it. We had a brief warm weather hiatus but spring is back with a vengeance in NYC and, despite the fact that everyone turned to pastels and prints to celebrate, Lauren went in a darker direction and immediately threw the gilet on to complete her black-on-black ensemble. Luckily, this is New York, so no one bats an eye if you wear all black when it's 70 degrees out. 

That Lauren has finally had a chance to rock this look is especially important to me. Why? Because I need her to wear it at least once before I'm able to liberate it from her closet and run home with it, clutched in my greedy little hands.
