Terrace at the River Inn may be one of the best-kept secrets in the city. The space has been redesigned by Greg Baudoin into a chic and cozy nook with covered roof and retractable windows, offering yearround views of the river no matter what the unpredictable weather may be. It feels a bit like a really nice grown-up tree house, and it’s the perfect setting for our fashion story highlighting crisp clothing with sharp tailoring and strong lines. Inspired by the glass, metal, and greenery of the area, we mixed up a color palette of black with grey and added brown and gold tones for warmth. Looks this season are powerful, rich with textures, and a little seductive — just like the Terrace.
