FALL 2014
THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY REPORT: IT’S LOVE TRENDS WE LOVE We asked our designers which trends they love this season. First up is the bateau neck. High and flattering, this neckline is both demure and fashion forward. Notice how beautifully it transitions from the Icons collection across the entire Fall line. Like most New Yorkers, our designers love black, even in July. This season, they’re giving black a summer makeover with lace inserts and sheer silk panels. And they’re pairing black with Midnight, our version of navy blue. Look for this combo in color-blocked sweaters, plaids and a reversible cotton nylon coat. As the weather cools, we’re cozying up to the athletic luxe trend. Our designers have re-imagined hoodies and sweatshirts, giving them a refined silhouette and the deep luxury of our yarns. This fall, the jacket is the new cardigan. Look for styles with a swing, a peplum, a boyfriend slouch or the zip of motorcycle detailing. And don’t forget a winter coat. We’re loving the furry elegance of Curly Alpaca and the eco savvy of our new puffer in Eggshell Recycled Nylon, a fabric that repurposes fishing nets.
FIRST LOVE In honor of our
FIRST
LOVE
30th Anniversary, we’ve designed the Icons, a six-piece collection that captures the essence of EILEEN FISHER: the kimono-inspired coat, the cashmere box-top, the bateau neck shell, the layering dress and two long, straight cardigans. These pieces feel so modern that if they weren’t in our archives, we’d want to design them right now.

is a capsule collection, dramatic in proportion and strategically sleek. The Fisher Project’s complete monthly offerings will be available at eileenfisher.com, and all of our retail stores will carry select pieces, included here to help you with your seasonal planning. Love takes many forms. Love is thrilling. Love is mysterious. Love is bold. And when it’s new, it still feels like a first.

THE FISHER PROJECT
THE FISHER PROJECT DIFFERENCE • Building on EILEEN FISHER’s design principles, TFP is a capsule collection that offers different fit and style options for both new and existing customers. Simplicity is at TFP’s core with an eye toward dramatic proportions and a bold, redefined aesthetic. • We use the same sizing and fit model for both TFP and the main line. With TFP the fit intent may be to create something slimmer or more exaggerated. • Often you’ll find that the lines blur between TFP and the main line. What makes something TFP may be the styling and not the piece itself.
