a classic camel coat

By Marlene | Published: 28. February 2013
You know it's fashion week when you don't read the papers online in the morning, but browse the collections on style.com for breakfast instead. Newsflash: I just lost my heart to this camel coat from Dries Van Noten! (Have a look at the rest of the collection, too. I'm swooning).
