God bless the uniform. Recent years have produced a slew of young labels that have zeroed in on it, turning out entire collections of wardrobe pillars in their own vernaculars. Among the more compelling designers who adhere to that sensibility is David Michael, whose louche, perfectly imperfect tailoring remains criminally undersung. Michael specializes in androgynous pieces with a covetable rock-and-roll rakishness to them, equal parts Patti Smith and Arthur Rimbaud. To wit, Fall"s micro-suede jacket with a "priest"s pocket" tucked away in the lining of a double vent—though no doubt his woman has something more roguish to stow than a rosary. While Michael"s brand of menswear-leaning looks might be good enough to convert even the most die-hard vamps, Fall bore a goodly dose of soft, unfussy sex appeal, too. That jacket will look mighty slinky teamed with a sheer blouse and a pair of "chill pants," pull-on trousers with slouch to spare; ditto a wrap dress that doubles as a smoking. I-want-to-be-her allure plus Michael"s undeniable tailoring chops prove a hard combo to resist.
While his still-cultish status as a designer lends Michael a certain enigmatic cachet, with a who"s who of cool indie stockists (Totokaelo, Assembly, and Bona Drag, among others) and a price point that"s imminently shoppable, it won"t be long before the secret is out.
