Inspired by an image of her mother dressing in a creamy turtleneck and high-waisted trousers in the late 1970s, Ms. Coon decided to do something elegant but with a touch of mystery for her Fall 2011 collection. Almost all of the looks had some leather touches here or there. Ms. Coon also played with contrast in a few looks.
