Carol Christian Poell gloved kangaroo leather jacket
Such intense attention to detail.
From the glued seams to the clasp hardware.
Pure perfection.

“Basically the work of a creative designer is to constantly elaborate the idea he had at the beginning. You really create only once and then you elaborate it over time. I’m always influenced by what has been produced previously even though it seems like I’m starting from scratch every season.”
- Carol Christian Poell (2001)
Carol Chrisitan Poell cotten / linen blend Dead End sarouel pants
As many of my readers know I have a certain affinity to drop crotch pants so this may come as no surprise but these are some of my favorite pants from Carol. The relaxed fit is on point without being too casual but the real beauty here is the signature Dead End detailing in the front.

This is really what I like to see from Carol; subtle alterations to classic garments. What could be a basic button up is extended past what would be the natural fit to encompass both the neck and hands which are usually left bare by such a garment. Besides the obvious aesthetic changes to the garment there are many more hidden details such as the stitching and seams. I’d be really interested to see how the garment feels on the body as that seems to be an integral part of appreciating CCP garments. Dead End has been nothing but top tier Carol from what I’ve seen.
