TH E N EWS I N ST YL E the start STAR TURN

If Wolk Morais’s latest collection feels boldly cinematic, the effect is not a coincidence. “We were inspired by the tradition of updating Shakespearean plotlines for contemporary audiences,” explains Brian Wolk, who co-founded and runs the brand with fellow designer Claude Morais. “We thought of Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream when creating this poison green look.” Like the rest of the collection, the striking three-piece number was made from repurposed material (discarded fabric sourced from the attic of a costume shop near the label’s studio in Hollywood). “It was tossed aside as ‘damaged goods’ because the dye had faded with time,” says Morais. “But we instantly fell in love with its age-inflected ombré effect.”

Slam Dunk

While mega-stylist June Ambrose assumed the role of Puma’s creative director only last fall, she’s a longtime fan of the brand. “Years before taking this position, I’d use their suedes [sneakers] at shoots,” says Ambrose, who unveils her fi rst designs, the High Court Collection, for the sportswear behemoth this season. Her inspiration? “When creating these pieces, I considered the lifestyle of women and how integral movement is to our wardrobes: Everything is meant to work for all of the positions that we inhabit and the many races we run in our lives every day.”
