You may recall that Julia wore a Luca cardigan upon arrival in Venice, which I rather enjoyed. Now there’s a part II, worn with a William Shakespeare coat by Libertine. The coat is extremely cool — and surely chosen because Luca and Shakespeare kind of resemble each other, much like Elizabeth Stewart and her client JULIA!!!, in fact. That sweater seems cut… well, like a huge sweater rather than a dress, but the coat helps. She looks good. It DOES seem like she’s having fun with After the Hunt so far, which is good because the movie itself is getting VERY mixed reviews and it’s hard to tell whether it’ll yield the awards run everyone seems to want. Enjoy it while it’s hot!
Stewart confirmed that the sweaters were an idea Julia had to honor Luca; they have since started a company called Twinship (in honor of how she and Julia frequently accidentally “twin,” which… Elizabeth is her stylist, so how cosmically magical can that be?) and claim they’ll be releasing more for sale. Is there a market for a Luca Guadagnino sweater? Clearly they hope so, because they’re selling the first one for $1100. I wonder how many dollars per face that is? Going JUST by the front of the cardigan, that’s $40 bucks a head. If it’s double on the back, that brings it down to $20. A steal!
