DOUGLAS HANNANT,
New York Fashion Designer Extraordinaire!
Made-to-Order from the Fall 2011 Runway, & Hand Woven Nubby Tweed with Copper Threading Jacket
Lovely Pleated Peplum front and Back
Encouraged by Geoffrey Beene and inspired by Halston,
Douglas Hannant started in the fashion industry as a merchandiser.
His design philosphy is about striking a balance.
He wants the women he dresses to
look modern and polished at the same time
that they feel comfortable and relaxed.
HANNANT's goal is redefining luxury for the modern American Woman.
Luxurious fabrics, incredible attention to detail
& impeccable finishing.
Sportswear inspired designs with "dressed-up" sensibilities.
Among the many celebrities who wear his collection are Natalie Cole and Bette Midler (off-stage!)
Fall 2011 Douglas Hannant gave his Fall show a Jazz Age spin
cloche hats by Eric Javits on the models, Nina Simone on the soundtrack
but, he said backstage before his show at the Plaza,
I couldn't agree more. And what does Hannant need with themes, anyway?
His clients are after gowns for museum parties and smart skirtsuits to wear to fashion shows.
There were plenty of both.
We love this particular jackets worn with classic gray flannel underpinnings
and belted as on the runway or with less accent to the waistline
Here is an extraordinary Hand Woven Tweed Jacket, shown on the runway as part of a suit
I think that this is far more effective when worn with a solid color!
I love it with Gray Flannel and would also love it with the Beige CHADO Skirt we are featuring separately!
The hand made tweed has a textural nubbiness to it with definite highs and lows
It is a Lovely Beige, combined with Charcoal Gray, & a little black
The metallic stitchery included is hematite, Copper and Platinum Silver
The jacket has a Revere Collar and closes with two shiny Black Glass Antique Buttons
Long Inset Sleeves
Seamed waistline which is shown on the runway with a slender belt
Below the waistband is a soft small peplum which includes a few pleats in the center Front and Center Back.

Douglas Hannant has a very private and specialized clientele and does not get to the secondary market often
In its own way it is just as spectacular and rarified as CHADO by Ralph Rucci
HANNANT is an amazing American Designer - one of very few originals left!
It is a SENSATIONAL addition to your Wardrobe
