The rings, which are her favorite

Erin Wasson’s just started designing her capsule collection for Zadig & Voltaire, though the furry vests, skull covered scarves and silk blouses, as well as the leather pants and motorcycle boots, easily could’ve been designed by the model.  She was on hand to talk about the future even though there’s nothing to see until spring.

Gaia Repossi, however, has already designed her pieces for the French brand and the lacy rings and cuffs were subjected to plenty of oohing and aahing.  “This is for the girl in the desert, or [who] travels on road trips,” Repossi said.  “As opposed to my [eponymous] jewelry for a woman who lives in an abstract world.”

The rings, which are her favorite, go best with “black pants and a white t-shirt” though really, she says, nothing beats “just naked.”

Though the designer, who’s previously collaborated with Alexander Wang, keeps an apartment here and knows the city like the back of her hand, when asked what she’d do with just 24 hours in Paris she answers, “Yoga!”

As long as we could swing by Zadig and grab a ring on the way, we’d be ok with that, too.
