Designer Dossier: Holmes & Yang

The then hush-hush Holmes & Yang line debuted to L.A.’s fashion set at Maxfields, where the label was initially exclusively sold, resulting in solid reviews. Style.com reported, “The collection, done in a palette of cream, navy, and black, features luxe shirts and trousers; textured silk jumpsuits; motorcycle jackets; leather, silk-lined blazers; and ruched strapless dresses worthy of the red carpet.” Not bad, huh? Two years later, that high-end line started selling exclusively at Barneys, which now carries the label’s full line, including its Fall 2012 collection.  

Holmes who has test driven a few pieces from the label on the red carpet (back during her days as Mrs. Cruise) is now known to be out and about wearing a piece or a whole ensemble from her line, whether it’s to take Suri to the park or to have a meeting with her divorce attorney. In fact, for her recent Elle cover, Katie wore several pieces from Holmes & Yang, including a leather bustier top and stretch wool skinny pants. How Victoria Beckham of her. While there is no word as to what the Spring 2012 collection will look like or what we can expect from Ms. Holmes’ runway debut, one thing is for sure, everyone will be watching.
