GRACE CLOTHIERS
Grace Clothiers is aptly named—owner Laura Montecot-Fruth hand selects collections from New York and European designer markets to bring impeccably crafted pieces to Park City. “I love fashion,” says Montecot-Fruth, “the way it can express the inner beauty of a person.” Two of her favorite coats this year are from T.ba, a Madrid-based couture line known for fitted jackets and coats. Th e AB Classic has an equestrian fl air and is made from “Gnu Fabric” that resembles leather. Greet winter with grace and fl air in a fox-trimmed tweed coat, a ruggedly elegant style that’s great with boots and jeans.
