Fabrication in Aiken

Fabrication Kurta Spotted in Milan!

If every vacationing American dressed as stylishly, and behaved as graciously, as our fab customer, Marsi, that Ugly American myth would bite the dust. Here she is in the fashion district in Milan, exuding chic.

Marsi reports, by the way, that the kurta washed beautifully in some ingenuity-required laundry situations.

Who Knew the Plural is "Kurti"?

A so-sophisticated customer told us about the new style guide, "Parisian Chic," by Ines de la Fressange. Read the Effortless Style chapter, she said. The chapter that starts off, "Effortless style often takes, as it says, very little effort."

On page 21, there's this tip: "Have your traveling friends bring back kurti shirts from India in a host of colors. Wear them under a cardigan, with pearls, preppy meets ethnic chic."

Effortless indeed! Fabrication has a friend in India, and we have the host of colors nailed. It's a little hot just now for that cardigan, but a kurta over white pants is perfect for a trip to the lake.

Whatcha Gonna Wear When You Get Out?

Hey good-lookin', you there, floating around the deep end on a noodle! What are you wearing poolside? May we suggest a cool cotton top? They look great as coverups and can also be dressed up if you get an impromptu invitation for dinner. Just sayin'.
