we're Obsessed!

For anyone who’s ever had a fantastic idea and thought, This could be a business!, let Aimee Cho be your inspiration. Three years ago, working as fashion magazine writer, she noticed the lack of well-priced, highly stylish trench coats in the market. So she fixed that. Now her company, Gryphon New York, makes way more than just trenches, like this amazing evening coat. Cho’s modern design, embroidered in bronze sequins and antiqued silver bugle beads with matelassé detail on the lining, is elegant, but not in a fussy, old-lady way. Slip it on, and you’ll feel like a proper grownup—an achingly chic one at that.
