Rachel Antonoff’s AW11 Lookbook Features Great Clothes, Laurel Pantin, and Mini Ponies

Every time we’re sent the Rachel Antonoff look book, we know it’s going to be our favorite of the season. How can we be so sure? Because Antonoff’s tome always combines her immaculate clothing collection, her fashion friends (previously Katrina Bowden, Tenessee Thomas, Alia Shawkat, Julia Frakes, and Scarlett Johansson), and a cute animal.

For fall, Rachel Antonoff took Teen Vogue‘s Laurel Pantin and friend Danielle F. to the Gillen Mini Horse Farm in Blairstown, NJ. Yes, a mini horse farm. But it’s not just the teeny ponies that won over our hearts, it’s Antonoff’s witty and wearable designs, named after her flock of fashion followers. There’s the Jannuzzi vest, the Tenn-Tom dress, and the Jack cat pocket jumper named after her brother, Steel Train frontman Jack Antonoff, who is actually allergic to cats.

On top of these creations there’s also the adorable Macy cat pocket skirt, Shiffman dress in Valentine print, and sheer back Kelsy dress. As you can see, it’s been hard for me to pick a favorite from Antonoff’s collection, because I kind of want it all.

Stevie was quite upset because Urban Outfitters allegedly mimicked her design. “My heart sank a little bit [when I saw this],” Stevie confessed on her Tumblr.

As bad as I felt for Stevie, I didn’t put the story on yesterday’s schedule. We write about rip-offs pretty consistently, but this just didn’t sit right with me. Hadn’t I seen these little charms before?

Since the story broke, Urban has pulled the style from its website. And Stevie seems to be experiencing unexpectedly high sales in wake of the situation. She reports on her Etsy page that “Orders will take a bit longer due to the overwhelming response to Urban Outfitters! Please give me 3-4 weeks to create and ship your items! xo.”
