Mackage designers, Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassi, are my fashion saviours. Their coats have taken me from miserable, frozen and hating winter to elegant, warm and looking forward to those first snow flakes.
Finally! A winter jacket that keeps me warm and makes me feel like the graceful woman that I am! Sure, Johnny Depp, Halle Berry, Eva Mendes, Jessica Beil, John Legend and Lindsay Lohan are all lacquering up in
MACKAGE, but let us not forget…Montreal is where it all started!
Now, you might wonder, why is Tamy talking coats in July? Well, summer is already a busy time for Elisa and Eran, as they get ready to present a brand new collection of coats (and perhaps branching out with other items?) at this fall’s Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.
In fact, I recently caught up with Elisa and Eran at their studio – and got a sneak peek of their latest creatioons. We took a few minutes to talk jackets, design, Montreal, New York, inspiration and…babies. Have a look!
The new collection comes out at the end of August, and as soon as it does, I’ll be hitting up several Montreal stores. I expect the coats, which range from $500 to $800, to fly off the shelves.
