There’s no escaping the fact that colder weather and shorter days are coming. But before you turn that into a negative, celebrate the fact that it means coat season is upon us and this exclusive Isa Arfen design for Label/Mix is ready and waiting to spice up your winter wardrobe.
Isa Arfen, (an anagram of the Italian-born designer Serafina Sama’s first name, which also pays tribute to her grandmother Isa) is a London-based brand, popular with the likes of Alexa Chung and Margot Robbie. Ticking off one of this season’s biggest trends, this check maxi overcoat is a prime example of Sama’s clean yet playful aesthetic. “I’m interested in how a garment feels, as well as how it looks,” she says. “If I try it on and start dancing, it’s usually a good sign!”
Made in Italy from a beautiful wool, silk and cotton mix, the coat is the epitome of luxury. With an oversized cut and dropped shoulders, it’s ideal for layering as the temperature drops – try draping it over a trench for a look that’s worthy of any Instagram feed, teamed with this season’s knee-high boots for the final flourish.
