What He Wants:

The Row Coat: "My eyes are peeled for dramatic, oversized coats right now. I can't get enough sweeping coats from Issey Miyake, Rick Owens, and Yohji Yamamoto, I'm always on the lookout for other brands doing them well. From the fall collections I saw, I like the first look that came down the runway at The Row. It's a long black coat with a full skirt, and it's snatched with a thin brown belt—very 90s minimalism."

Altuzurra's Black Skinny Pant: "You can never have enough tight black skinny pants, and i love this version from Altazurra. I'm keen on the buckles on the thigh."

Top Row, eBay alternatives to The Row coat: New Yohji Yamamoto Double-Breasted, Wool Coat-Dress (buy it now price, $557.78); Issey Black Trench Coat with Pleats (buy it now price, $549)

Bottom Row: Altuzarra Runway (Photo by JP Yim/WireImage); eBay alternative, Authentic Gucci Black Skinny Corduroy Pants (starting bid, $139.99)

What He Wants:

Thom Brown Eyewear: "The Thom Browne show was one of the most memorable and crazy this season. Though the clothing was not exactly what you would call wearable (I am much too short to wear a maxi-skirt with Raccon tails round the bottom), the new Thom Browne eyewear was dynamite. I am desperate to lay my hands on a pair of these big, butch, tortoise-shell shades. They are swanky and hip with a vintage whiff of Aristotle Onassis. What more could you want? If you you cannot wait until next fall to get the TB shades, then check out similar styles at Barneys by Tom Ford, Oliver Peoples, Persol and Barton Perreira."

What She Wants:

Rodarte: "I immediately fell for the ladylike, graceful wanderers that Kate and Laura [of Rodarte] dreamed up this season and was particularly struck by the bucolic ginghams and plaids juxtaposed with wisps of femininity (in delicate vintage laces and surprising florals motifs) all orchestrated in an airy, romantic Victorian palette. The knit socks artfully tucked into Nicholas Kirkwood's dreamy collaborative shoes (with heels nimbly crafted that to call to mind melting wax) seemed perfectly fit for sleepwalking... the focal conception behind Rodarte's collection."

Proenza Schouler Baby-Doll Dresses: "While the preponderance of Jack and Laz's latest collection was built rather directly off of their acclaimed collegiate Pre-Fall showing, the at once buttoned-up (albeit slightly naughty) series of mini baby-doll dresses were forged with a more distorted scholastic mindset: by photocopying prep plaids and manipulating them just so on the copier's glass so as to eventually render these trippy woven jaquards. If the nuisance of waiting six months for their retail arrival sounds rather disheartening... fear not! Try paring these two ferreted-out eBay treasures (which also embody an akin offbeat, gritty innocence) with thigh-high sheer pantyhose and off-the-wall wooden stacked heels as seen on the Proenza runway.
