J Brand's Leading Ladies
Mickey Sumner, Karla Welch, Daisy O'Dell, Erin Benach; New York & Los Angeles
While the Toronto International Film Festival seems like a seamless feat on the surface, it’s the leading ladies behind the scenes that make the magic happen. Flashing lights and red carpets aside, there’s a multitude of women hard at work on all fronts: in front of the camera, on the wardrobe design, on the styling and of course, on the ones and twos at the after party. Cue: actress Mickey Sumner (of Frances Ha and Imogene), costume designer Erin Benach (who regularly works with Ryan Gosling [relax, ladies!] on films like Drive and Blue Valentine), celebrity stylist Karla Welch (whose clients include Olivia Wilde, Hailee Steinfeld and more!) and DJ Daisy O’Dell (whose performed with Prince and Lady Gaga...enough said!). We teamed up with our lovely friends at J Brand and Holt Renfrew to showcase the powerful women who represent the brand in all the right lights. And what better way to collaborate than to highlight J Brand’s latest RTW collection and then put it all on display at Holts? We think Benach said it best: “What I love about this J Brand collection the most is that it leaves room for me to personalize it.” And we’ve got to admit, it’s amazing how different four women’s take on one cohesive collection can be. Sumner’s London-meets-New York downtown vibe paired well with J Brand’s slouchy silks and luxe leathers, while Welch’s futuristic-like abode lent itself to the sophistication of the collection’s crisp and clean aesthetic. Even Benach’s favourite J Brand knits and furs meshed well with her quirky California décor and O’Dell’s rock and roll edge shined against her records and vintage posters. We fell hard for each of the women’s individual aesthetics and well, it’s clear the final product speaks for itself. We recommend you see it in the flesh, though as it will be on display at our home away from home, Holt Refrew as an in-store exhibit from September 14th – 17th. (We know. Major FOMO for all those not in Toronto!) Oh, and if any of the pieces catch your eye, Holt Renfrew has a seriously supply... tell 'em The Coveteur sent you!

Some of the most memorable costumes I've worked with: I think I would guess that others might remember the scorpion jacket from Drive, the red leather jacket from Luke in Pines and the boots and skirt on Michelle Williams from Blue Valentine. Some of the key pieces Eva Mendes wears in the Pines are outfits that I will always remember: it was so fun to think back to the 90s with Eva—a time we were both much younger, and re-surface those quintessential 1994 pieces. The choker necklaces, the crop shorts, the tanks. Relying on research plus my own memory was one of the most fun processes for costuming. Also, Ryan Gosling wears 90s cotton MC Hammer skull pants in Pines that I think guys should start wearing again.

The last concert I went to FYF was over Labour Day weekend and I wore a sheer dress and combat boots with a straw boater hat and SPF 50. We saw Twin Shadow, Chromatics, DJ Harvey, M83, Dinosaur Jr., John Maus, Future Islands, Glass Candy, etc. I love the intersection between music and fashion. When I perform with my band, The m.i.d.s. Costumes (black and flowy, capes and turbans) help me get into character.

I love how this piece says, “take that!” It’s a no holds barred piece that will be the center of any outfit put together. Since it is so modern I would love to pair it with a pair of black silk dupioni slim peddle-push type pants (but a little longer than a traditional peddle pusher) and then a vintage heel like this one, which is a no-name brand from the 80s. Sleek and slim on bottom because the jacket has shoulder and poof to it.

I love wearing vintage hats when it feels like it's not a big deal to have it on my head. When it feels just like an extension, very few hats allow me this feeling, so if I find one, I want it.

In the day I use Laura Mercier's Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer (love it 'cause the skin looks amazing and it has SPF 20), with Lancôme DÉFINICILS mascara. If I'm treating myself, I go to the beautiful and talented Sadie Adams, who owns Take Care in the East Village, and I'll have a Micro-Current facial.
