The signature look of Alexia von Beck, a German-Chilean designer, conjures a kind of urban safari; central to this tableau is a statuesque woman confidently striding in her flat sandals, wearing neutral-toned wool pants ($189), or a long skirt ($259–$289) and a wool shawl ($89–$160) wrapped over the chunky silver Indian or Moroccan jewellery at her neck. By far the most alluring pieces are the floor-length coats ($450–$750), with high, cape-like collars done in silk embroidery or textured boiled wool.
