level up the houndtooth

Salvatore Ferragamo leveled up the houndtooth in to a pattern that might go with every suit. From the tiny tooth to a giant hound's,  from match up with checked things to a low-key leopard pattern, basically it seems glamour, elegant and absolutely italian. But, I was thinking about my best memory about houndtooth, it might be still the look of Balenciaga from years ago. Ghesquiere used some slicky/ high-tech texture to construct a very architectural jacket in black and also used cotton and wonderful cutting to create one in houndtooth. awesome. Then we turn back to Ferragamo, now this pattern could be feminine/classic, a bit masculine, vintage, sexy...To me, it's a very nice try, even the big/small houndtooth patched jumper.


Like it! the jacket is a bit like a vintage houndtooth coat I bought from US ebay about weeks ago. The black collared jacket's inspiration might come from 70s.
