Words like cleric, tweed, and nubuck lead the charge at United Bamboo's Fall 2008 collection, but what stood out was a Rita Ackermann print dress, with swirling saturated kelly greens and blues. To balance the subversive pattern, the duo Thuy Pham and Miho Aoki successfully mixed schoolgirl sweet with modern structure, finished with Girl Scout brown and green caps and berets via milliner-queen Patricia Underwood, and socks blending with each clever boot. In short, we love this luxe art-school graduate feel, always ahead of the class.
