Exclusive: Vanishing Elephant Summer 2012 Lookbook

Unpretentious, easy dressing begins here.

Getting dressed in the morning can be an overwhelming task. A leg may find itself trying to squeeze through an armhole, a t-shirt could be worn inside-out, socks might be odd, and — in the worst-case scenario — underwear could be accidentally abandoned altogether in the flurry of the morning rush. This is why Vanishing Elephant is so great — the clothes are fancy enough to look like you care and are not a toddler when it comes to putting together an outfit, but they are simple enough to not invoke feelings of confusion and alienation. The new collection is all about comfy-as-heck pants, relaxed jackets, casual yet collared shirts and light knitwear. Unpretentious and easy dressing begins here.
