FaConnable<br />
| Fall Focus | New ownership of this Nice, Francebased<br />
sportswear brand is taking Faconnable in subtle<br />
new directions. (Nordstrom was the prior owner).<br />
Early changes include a more European and streamlined<br />
silhouette, and new luxurious fabrics. This season,<br />
the collection is inspired by the private jet traveler<br />
(the engraving on shirt buttons will look familiar<br />
to anyone who has seen the tail number on a PJ).<br />
| Key Pieces | A pure wool jacket is ideal for travel,<br />
and is made more versatile with removable vest panels<br />
plus stylish elbow patches. Suits also have their<br />
third piece—the vest—back this season, and the models<br />
in cashmere and silk blends are extremely soft<br />
and strong. Outerwear is increasing within the collection,<br />
and an early standout piece is a surprisingly<br />
light-weight shearling, which will cost about 1,900<br />
euros. The perfect garment for weekends will be the<br />
cashmere jeans with a touch of stretch, which will sell<br />
for about 300 euros.<br />
| Where to Buy | The Faconnable collection is available<br />
at Nordstrom as well as the brand’s own boutiques<br />
in such locations as New York, Miami, Beverly<br />
Hills, Madrid, Lisbon, Cannes and Paris. Visit www.<br />
