Lizzie Owens is a designer who really cares about her customers. One of 6397’s main goals between the design and sales teams is to respect the customers, which means prices haven’t really changed since the early days. The Milton funnel-neck winter coat will be priced under $1,200. “It’s double-breasted and a little bit more fitted than we normally do, and the price point is at the top of our range, but we still wanted to be really fair to our creative customers,” said Owens.
This season Owens reimagined some classics. She reinterpreted a tweed skirt suit to be more modern and grunge, using soft wool fabrications for a more lax approach to formalwear. Those who want to take casualness up a notch can even wear it with a pair of baggy barrel-leg jeans. Elsewhere, a classic black suit in a stiff wool-jersey fabrication not only maintained its structure when worn but also prevented the discomfort that can accompany formal attire.
As always, 6397’s look book was shot in New York, just steps away from the label’s SoHo showroom, demonstrating how easily the clothes fit into the surroundings of the city and the real-life women who wear the brand. The pieces might not be revolutionary, but the label’s intention to make high-quality clothing with creative touches keeps it aspirational and desirable in New York’s highly saturated fashion scene.
