The Coach Saint James Summer 2013 collection is not being showcased in a traditional way. In place of a statuesque model is a fashionable paper doll that happens to sport a wardrobe that most people would give their right arm for. A feminine mix of Coach's American aesthetic and Saint James' historic, naval-inspired pieces, the outfits are perfect for a romantic getaway in Europe or even the Caribbean.
Created by Brooklyn artist Kristin Eddington, the Coach Saint James Summer 2013 lookbook is full of bright colors, which accent the striped and navy blue designs beautifully. The catalog is so creatively executed, it will whet women's appetite to check out the pieces showcased in person. As cute as the paper renditions are, only real-life sizes and soft cloth will satisfy consumers.
