Design Within Reach
The Black Dahlia mystery, gothic nail polish, jet-black lipstick, noir-colored dresses and opaque tights—as winter fast approaches fashion’s dark direction is clear. Gothic femininity is the name of the game, a difficult dichotomy to match since softness and darkness seem diametrically opposed. Well, leave it to the fashion guru Tom Ford himself to immaculately embody this season’s style in his first female fragrance Black Orchid. Mystery and beauty abound in the name itself, inscribed in gold upon a black ribbed bottle. Exotic elements like black truffle, ylang ylang, bergamot, and black currant comprise the scent, along with romantic fusions like vanilla and lotus wood. And the best news: while the limited-edition perfume is a pretty penny, the eau de toilette is quite af(Ford)able. $90-$600, Neiman Marcus locations: neimanmarcus.com
