Talking about the line which will hit stores next Monday, Banana Republic's
creative director Simon Kneen, told InStyle.com: 'It's really about taking key
elements of that time period - sophisticated color, fabrics, and
beautiful detailing - and translating that into an updated wardrobe.''Small touches such as lace and fur embellishments portray a classic sense of luxury without requiring a full look that may feel 'costumey.'
'Even if incorporating vintage pieces, you shouldn't don a full 19th-century look. Instead, mix and match with more modern pieces to keep it current.'
