TWP Pre-Spring Collection: Where Fashion Meets Function
While some designers focus on creating glamorous resort collections for jet-setters in exotic locations, Trish Westcoat Pound of TWP has a different customer in mind. Her practical designs cater to women who face the elements of the outside world on a regular basis.
Westcoat Pound’s latest collection features a range of weather-proof pieces, including a water-repellent anorak jacket made from cotton canvas and gabardine fabric. She also offers chunky navy cable knit turtlenecks for chilly winter nights and a variety of coats in classic felts and reversible trenches that transition seamlessly between seasons. Instead of labeling her collection as “resort,” she prefers to refer to it as “pre-spring.”
For Westcoat Pound, utility is always a key inspiration. She focuses on designing clothes that women actually want to wear, without compromising on style. Her designs strike the perfect balance between form and function, with details like funnel neck collars on sweaters and exaggerated bubble hems on pants. Wide-leg trousers with a sparkle finish add a touch of glamour to the collection.
While TWP is best known for its cropped and oversized Italian cotton shirts, Westcoat Pound has noticed a growing interest in pants among her customers. She believes that pants can flatter women of all shapes and sizes, making them a versatile wardrobe staple.
When it comes to eveningwear, Westcoat Pound truly shines. She offers an ivory silk bias-cut gown adorned with delicate silver beaded straps that elegantly drape down the back. Tops and skirts crafted from glittery woven mesh add a touch of sparkle to any special occasion outfit. With these stunning pieces, you might just feel like you’re ready for a soirĂ©e in St. Barths.
