( There’s nothing I love more than a good pair of city slicka leather leggings. )

Friend and New York fashion designer, Frank Tell, is on the heels of presenting his latest Pre-Fall collection to the world. He sent Smoke & Mirrors an exclusive holiday peek at his upcoming lookbook and I’m pleased to say, the results are top-notch. Employing his understated black and white palette, Tell has crafted wearable looks that blend just the right amount of street and floss. With a focal point on decaying knits, Tell broadens his budding line with unlikely material pairings – satin cuir and cashmere, stretch leather and angora, fox, mink, raccoon and montana wool, cotton and mohair. Look out, Wang. Tell has joined the gang.
