VOZ

WHAT: VOZ Poncho Alerce…WHY: You’ve worn out that winter coat and are fiending for a style alternative. Cue the poncho; the underappreciated alternative on the warmth front. This isn’t your average toss-over layering piece! It’s named for Alerce, a native tree in Araucanía, Chile, and was designed by artisans Irma Lincoqueo and Rosa Ñanculef in one of VOZ’s collaborative workshops. The weaving, knitting, and dyeing process was hand-hewn and care-filled; style it with just as much attention! Whether you belt it or let it billow, give that winter coat a weekend break…AVAILABLE: $350, Voz-Apparel.com…

More runway scoop, coming your way! Maison de LaCour and VOZ showed their Fall ’13 collections at the Metropolitan Pavilion for Conair’s Style360. Maison de LaCour’s tapped into strains of the ’90s, a la Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain; meanwhile, VOZ focused on the theme of change through beauty.
