Hifashion Studios Shoot with Petrune

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

You may remember HiFashion Studios from their runway show at Ithaca College a couple months back. A student organization devoted to a love of fashion, HiFashion studios sent looks down the runway from many boutiques and designers around Ithaca, including some beautiful vintage pieces from here at Petrune.

We were thrilled when they approached us to create a photo spread for their magazine! After a fun shoot with Lucy, some of the folks from HiFashion, and some very patient and cooperative models, they got some beautiful images.

Check out their full magazine here!

 

 

More Colorful, More Cozy

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

We’ve been loving the look of our primary colors window display! We’ve also got a lot of great feedback from our beautiful customers, so we’re glad you’re down with the bananna-yellow military jacket and blue suede shoes combo ; ).

Keeping with the theme of “beautiful clothes that starve off crushing seasonal depression,” Bethany put together some outfits displaying the wonderful intersection of Comfort and Color.

Anyone can pull off an electric blue velvet overcoat with the proper accessories!

I never thought I’d be a “poncho kinda girl,” but this poncho could make anyone a “poncho kinda girl.”

Fall in Full Color!

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

With the leaves falling off the trees, the days getting shorter, and the Farmer’s Market closing up, Ithaca does lose a bit of its vibrancy towards the end of fall. You however, do not have to! With neutrals taking the stage in the world around us, there is no better time to throw on a fuscia overcoat and make the world your supersaturated oyster.

Inspired by colorful looks like this vintage Pierre Cardin dress and this turquoise and Chartreuse ensemble from Facehunter, our current window aims to add a pop of pigment beyond the usual camel shades of fall. Enjoy!

Fresh Paint!

A structured, colorful coat is the perfect combination of edge and class.

Saturated accessories.

They're called the PRIMARY colors for more reasons than one.

Actually the most amazing collar I've ever seen on a sweater.

 

It’s denim season!

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

Denim. It’s as American as apple pie, yet as wild as west Texas. Invented as rugged work-wear for ranch hands in 1800′s America, denim is now seen everywhere, from the runways of Paris, to the overalls of OshKosh B’Gosh. Here at Petrune, we’ve been gathering our denim goodies together since the first wisps of fall air. Whether you’re in the market for a classic jean jacket, or an acid-wash pencil skirt, we’ve got you covered.

Denim enables sass.

Acid wash fun!

A good jean jacket is a must!

Usually wouldn't use "beautifully detailed" to describe overalls, but these are something else.
