The Thakoon Fall 2013 collection has made its formal entry on to the fashion scene at this year's 2013 New York Fashion Week. The pieces are feminine while not overtly sensual, featuring primarily loose cuts and neutral tones.
What is most eye-catching about these Thakoon pieces is the way in which they mix structure with layers of fabric. Though the dresses and frocks displayed are not particularly tight, working with a baggy take on style, they are nonetheless tailored. Thakoon has accomplished these opposing themes via its frequent use of belts and waist ties, cinching the apparel at the waist in a way that accentuates ones figure while leaving much to the imagination of viewers.
