The Designer's Detail
The Designer's Touch: A Look at Modern Tailoring and Unique Finishes
True personal style is often found in the details. While a beautiful silhouette is the foundation, it’s the small, unexpected, and thoughtful finishes that can make a piece feel truly special and reflective of your unique point of view. At Elevate & Adorn, our thoughtful curation process is a celebration of these very elements.
This post from our Smooth Rayon Bottoms collection explores the unique, fashion-forward details that transform a classic garment into a modern statement. It’s a closer look at the designer’s touch.
The Deconstructed Waistband
Classic tailoring provides a timeless foundation, but a modern, deconstructed detail can give a piece a fresh and fashion-forward edge. The reverse waistband is a perfect example of this contemporary approach to design.
Our Reverse Waist Band Tailored Pants feature this unique detail, where the inner construction of the waistband is exposed for a chic, undone look. To properly showcase this unique design at the waist and create a clean, intentional silhouette, we advise styling these pants with a cropped top or a fully tucked-in shirt. It's a confident choice for the modern woman who appreciates classic tailoring with a twist.
The Playful Edge: The Lettuce Hem
Sometimes the most charming detail is the most delicate one. A lettuce-edge hem is a beautiful finishing touch that adds a soft, whimsical quality to a garment.
This is showcased beautifully on our Lettuce Hem Mini Crochet Skirt. The technique creates a small, ruffled, wave-like edge that provides a delicate and playful finish to the artisanal crochet. This small detail enhances the skirt’s inherent charm, creating a look that is soft, feminine, and full of graceful movement.
The Flattering Fit: The Mixed Knit
A truly modern fabric can have flattering properties woven directly into its structure. A mixed knit is a sophisticated technique that combines different knit patterns and directions to create a garment that is both comfortable and incredibly chic.
Our Mixed Knit Skort uses this technique to great effect. The combination of different knit textures creates a subtle, flattering, and contouring effect that gently skims the body. It’s an intelligent design that provides a perfect fit and a unique textural interest, all while maintaining the effortless comfort of a soft, stretch knit.
These modern details are a core part of the Elevate & Adorn curation process. It is our joy to find pieces that feel both timeless in their appeal and uniquely contemporary in their design. By embracing these thoughtful finishes, you can build a wardrobe that is a true reflection of your confident, sophisticated, and modern personal style.
