The new Houghton Fall 2014 runway collection looks like a modern take of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummers Night's Dream.'
All about billowy shapes and soft fabrics, the collection designed by Katharine Polk was inspired by completely different style icons Katharine Hepburn and Bianca Jagger. Featuring slouchy pants, floor-sweeping dresses and oversized robe coats in soft colors, the Houghton Fall 2014 collection is chic, edgy and luxurious.
Houghton’s distinctive style is always timeless and manages to look like what easy chic should look like. And the new collection is no different. The comfortable and distinct look of the collection merges fine fabrics, crafty tailoring, simple silhouettes, subtle colored palettes and the ultimate rock-and-roll and feminine luxury chic mix.
