If you placed Teurn Studios’s pre-fall collection on a Venn diagram it would represent the meeting of bougie polish and boyish (vs. tomboy) charm. Anna Teurnell, who lives not far from a school, has recently been taken by how “young guys look in Sweden, with their fly hairdos, jackets, slouchy trousers. They are so natural and relaxed; so cool, ” she said on a call.
The designer built that vibe into a zipped leather topper by rounding the shape out and adding a flap pocket with a horizontal slit so you can use it two ways. She called this a “taxi jacket” and showed it with a midi-length skirt in the same leather, plus a new-for-the-season crepe-soled Chelsea boot with a kitten heel. Teurnell has a knack for small touches that transform an outfit, be that using a standing collar, or cutting a hem to caress the floor. She also takes the stuffing out of suiting; note the buttonless jacket.
There was a hint of the ’80s in a banana-sleeved coat dress and the turned-up hems on city shorts. Elsewhere, an enveloping cashmere sweater worn with a button-down and slouchy pants was a good example of the luxurious ease that is Teurn Studios’s stock-in-trade.
