The Rustic Styles of American Rag


Is there such a thing as a rustic socialite?  Earthy chic is in with its signature shades of brown, tan, and olive green. By “Earthy Chic” I don’t mean bohemian or straight up outdoorsy, I mean fashion inspired by a simpler American life not often found in New York. As the holidays get closer, I find myself looking for fashions that seem like something I would wear while drinking hard cider in front of a burning fire while on vacation in a stylish log cabin.

The American Rag line I previewed earlier this week at a party celebrating the holiday issue of the music/style magazine, RAGGED MAG, gave me this desired log cabin feeling and reminded me of the scenic landscape in Maine. The rustic decor of The Jane Hotel couldn’t have been a better backdrop for the American Rag line. Upon entering, I almost felt that I’d been transported into a sophisticated vegetarian hunting lodge.  Seeing that I abide by a strict vegetarian diet, an actual hunting lodge would not be sufficient.
