Since leaving the daily corporate office world, I have readily adopted the French attitude of purchasing only a few very well made pieces each season to create a foundation for my wardrobe. When Town & Country Magazine identified forward thinking designed “khakis” as a top trend of the season, I knew this was one of the key elements worth the investment. While the piece I chose could easily be at home on the racks of Bergdorf’s or Barneys, I found them in the Le Fash boutique at the Winter Equestrian Festival. This street to stable label designed their “City Breech™” with impeccable topstitching, unique brass rivets, flattering fit and most importantly, comfort.
Being from a high fashion background, I wanted to bring a higher-level design process to the City Breech™- a similar process that some of the best designers do in the top fashion industry. “
- Arianna A. Vostino, Founder and Designer, Le Fash, Inc.
The designer and owner of Le Fash, Inc., Arriana Vastino, happened to be at her Wellington boutique when I stopped by to view this year’s collection for the entire brand. I was not totally sold on the investment of the breeches, as I have seen similar “looking” pairs in the marketplace for less. Arianna explained “There are so many details in the City Breech™ that people don’t recognize at first glance; the rivets, the pockets, the waistband piping. All of these details not only look great. but are incorporated for a specific reason. They not only allow the breech to cross from stable to street but enhance the look of the wearer…This attention to detail is what sets us apart from other brands. The execution of this detail can only be done by using the best fabrications, the best manufacturing and the best quality control. Everyone that puts on a City Breech ™ says the same things; “They fit great!” or “They are the most comfortable breech I’ve ever worn!”
I later returned to try on a pair and left with my wallet lighter, but my base wardrobe greatly enhanced. Even better, I am ready to purchase a second pair in one of the label's beautiful rich colors for a staple at the stable!
Salut!
"My extreme passion for equestrian sport and love of horses is the largest influence in wanting to start Le Fash. Secondly, being a rider for my entire life, I noticed a void in the market, for cool, well-designed, well fitting riding attire that would help riders look and perform their best. Sometimes we forget that horse and rider are both athletes on a team together. We focus on only giving our horses the products to help them perform their best. However, riders also need the best products that will help them achieve their top performance.
After working in the high fashion industry for many years, I also recognized the influence our sport has on mainstream fashion and thought taking my design process one step further to also appeal to non-riders would be a great addition to the collection….Therefore, making Le Fash a cross over collection would allow customers to fill their wardrobe with garments that they could wear in many aspects of their life.
As a designer, I like to create clothing that looks great but, most importantly, can perform. My philosophy is that when you look and feel your best, you’ll perform your best."
