Just Jackets, Please

There are so few decent jackets these days---at least those that retail for under $1,000. (Dommage, Ann and Karl.) So Misha Nonoo and Deborah Lyons responded with Nonoo Lyons, a tiny collection of jackets that quietly launched for Fall 2009. Having grown up and worked all over (from Bahrain to London to Paris to Florence and now, New York), the designers focused on that singular item that goes with essentially everything else you own. For Spring, they used Coney Island as a backdrop for a calendar-style lookbook, in which each month gets its own jacket. Chic prefers Miss January, a nipped-waist Yves Klein blue number. Especially divine with Spring 2010 Givenchy. (Just a thought.)
