Soi-Disant

The phrase soi-disant, or “self-styled,” is not always a compliment. But, we applaud a little fashion DIY! Who better to realize our dreams, both bold and secret? Each day is an opportunity to experiment, ably assisted by a few special pieces from Jane’s Vanity. Unique in themselves, these items inspire our signature personal look. What’s the mood today?

Super-cool: That would be the mellow dove grey palette of Epure de Lise Charmel’s ultra-stretchy Gris Opale Camisole Set. The gentle embrace of this combo might offset a billowy blouse and slouchy wide-leg jeans. 

Left Bank: In classic black and ivory silk, Gilda & Pearl’s Nights in Paris line recalls the French perfection of “Le Smoking.” The Kimono, worn as an evening jacket, would blend into the streets of Saint Germain. The PJ top, with its ivory silk shawl collar, is smart enough for cafe society. 

Cher!: Grazia’Lliani inspires one’s inner movie star with their Silk Dress in Blaze or Cobalt. Its long slinky shape would be a joy to accessorize.

Bookstore chic: There’s something slightly intellectual about the FRS Flared Trousers in a tapestry of silk prints. They just require a pair of horn-rims and the Daisy Bianco Cotton Camisole from Dana Pisarra. 

Self-invention never looked better than in loungewear and lingerie from Jane’s Vanity.
