FOF clothing designer, Marisa Minicucci, is giving away this chic tweed “Avery” jacket from her new line, Minicucci and Marcanio (retail value: $625) in the subtle color-way, pictured above. Enter to win by leaving an answer below to this question: WHAT WOULD YOU WEAR WITH THE AVERY JACKET?
FOF Marisa Minicucci, from Canada, remembers the first piece of apparel she sewed. “I wanted to wear a jean skirt and vest I saw, and my mother, a seamstress, wouldn’t make it for me,” Marisa says. “So, while she was out, I started cutting and sewing. My pattern was out of newspaper and I used my sister as a guide. It had the yellow top stitch and everything. When my mother came home, she couldn’t believe it.”
Marisa was a natural. She went to design school to hone her pattern-making skills, and after her first job working for an importing company (“I hated it!” she says), she landed a position at a Montreal fashion company that specialized in high-end coats and eyewear. Marisa launched its first sportswear collection. “It was the 80s, the era of coordinated sportswear,” she says with a laugh.
Marisa took a leap of faith in 1993 and started her own sportswear line, Marisa Minicucci. “I then pushed the envelope and made another collection that was even younger,” she says. That line, M Siamo, earned her the name of “Montreal’s Grand Dame of Fashion,” and as a result, many consider her to be “one of the city’s top satorial talents.” (Source: About.com Montreal)
The line was discontinued in 2008 because “it was so difficult to please all these retailers,” Marisa explained in an About.com article.
Today, she’s back, this time with daughter, Anissa. Together, they’re creating a multi-generational collection of high-end RTW fabric jackets, under the brand Minicucci and Marcanio. “I told my daughter we need to go back to one commodity product,” says Marisa. ” It makes for a really interesting product when you bring generations together. Anissa wears a jacket one way, I wear it another, but its always the same jacket. We’ve mastered the fit of these jackets so real women can wear them,” Marisa adds. “They make you feel young, sophisticated and modern.”
The collection launched last month and is currently available online at wearmm.com. Marisa estimates it will be available at about 25 stores in the United States and Canada for the Fall 2013 season. Marisa hopes also to introduce men’s jackets in the future.
Enter to win the chic, tweed “Avery” jacket from Marisa’s new line, Minicucci and Marcanio, (retail value: $625) by leaving an answer below to this question: WHAT WOULD YOU WEAR WITH THE AVERY JACKET?

I love Fall and this jacket reminds me of that beautiful time of year. Because of the texture of the jacket I’d wear a soft silk shirt for contrast, collarless in a light beige tone. I’d add straight legged jeans in a dark wash with brown leather ‘booties’ with a chunky heel. The jacket has a ‘substantial’ feel to it and a thicker heel (maybe 1-1/2″ high) would set it off. I’d even use a ‘wood’ appearance on the heel. Since this jacket makes me feel like walking around the city in cool weather I’d add a fedora to set in all off in a shade that matches the jacket pockets! Perfect!

Donna Black says:
A cream colored tank and turquoise skinny jeans.
nancy homapour says:
During the day with jeans, dark pants at night, pencil skirt in the office. Love the versatility. Love to own it.
patti lovecky says:
Love this jacket. I would wear a bright blue shirt or sweater under the jacket, to pick up the blue colored threads in the tweed.
I would wear cinnamon colored leggings (color of trim on jacket) and a riding style tall boot.
Either a scarf, or longer piece of jewelry would complete the look.
Phoenix says:
Black pants & a cream shirt.
pam boyd says:
I think it would go with many things especially jeans
Julie Hughes says:
I would wear with a pair of boot cut jeans and leather boots or a red pair of pants.
Dorothy Campbell says:
A crisp white blouse and a mid-calf free flowing skirt (possibly carmel or teal in color).
joyce says:
I would wear a nice pair of slacks,or a great pair of jeans to highlight the jacket!!!!!
Laura Rodgers says:
I would wear this fantastic jacket with my skinny jeans (stretch, dark blue) and brown flats that match the detailing on the jacket… a navy camisole with a bit of lace showing in the front. i think id wear pearls with the outfit to have contrast between the funky fun textured jacket and the shinny polished look of pearls. I like contrast.
Neila says:
This jacket is so versatile, I would wear it with jeans, dress pants or a nice skirt!
Janet says:
A mustard colored dress I just bought at Anthropologie and a pair of boots.
Janet L says:
This is such a beautifully designed jacket with great lines and fabulous fabric. Wearing it with grey flannel slacks or a great pair of jeans and a creamy silk blouse would set off the fine details. Just love it!!!!
Blondie says:
I would wear 501 Levi’s, either black or dark navy. Depending on the weather I would wear either
a cotton T or a cashmere T’shirt sweater and pick one of the colors in the jacket.
I would also wear a crinkle scarf and leather flats. This would be perfect for a night on the town, dinner, or a casual with friends.
debra says:
over pants or a dress or even my dark jeans
Cheryl Amicone says:
I would wear a pair of skiiny jeans and a rocking pair of boots to match the trim on the shoulders of the jacket
Barbie says:
A silk top underneath with a dark jean and the heels. I could see this with a pencil skirt, dress pants and over a sheath dress. Very nice !
Carrie says:
Definately worn jeans, a colored tee, brown leather boots and a leather tote style purse.
Karen Cunningham says:
It looks versatile, but my first thought is black slacks with a bright shell or tank top inside the jacket with a complementary scarf or jewelry.
Tracy C says:
What wouldn’t I wear this beautiful jacket with? A pair of jeans or slacks for the weekend, an A-line skirt for work and a flowy skirt for a romantic dinner. Heck, this jacket is so beautiful I just might put it over me pajamas and sleep in it!
Zenaida says:
Dark Skinny Jeans!
Renee says:
Not sure what I’d wear with this beautiful jacket. With all the colors in it the imagination could go wild.
Janen says:
I think I might wear this with charcoal gray slacks. Of course I would love it with jeans.
Renee Lemke says:
Bathing Suit. Just thought I could catch your attention. Would look over. Lingerie also to greet your husband at the door and then take it off and have something sexy underneath. Txs
ticki566 says:
A simple black or brown dress so I can go from work to dinner out
gmc says:
Dark slacks and a tailored, light blouse.
Kimberly Nickerson says:
This is a super jacket. I especially love the longer tapered sleeves. So many colors in there, it would go with any number of things. I would wear it with a simple black dress for business or with an aqua button down sweater I have. Black pants, or jeans on Saturday. I love it. It is super- duper.
Barbara D. Newman says:
You know, this jacket will match everything in my closet, from my bluejeans to my black dress. I love the colors. Absolutely stunning.
lisa b. says:
This jacket would be the star of any outfit, so I would keep the rest clean and simple. Dark skinny jeans with a fitted white blouse, cognac leather boots, and a great gold cuff, or even better, a chunky gold man’s watch. My daughter, who no doubt would be borrowing this, would switch out the boots for a pair of flats in a bright color and switch the blouse to a t-shirt with one of her funky statement necklaces. Oh, and of course, we both would wear it with some attitude because it’s gorgeous.
Basya Skalozub says:
This is so versatile colors and so comfortable wear – I would use it with almost anything.
Mostly with jeans or pants.
Mamavalveeta03 says:
SO chic! I’d pair it with a white v-neck tee, a “spike” necklace like my favorite one by Vanessa Mooney, my Paige “Jimmy Jimmy” skinny boyfriend jeans, and a pair of chunky heeled platform huaraches.
Barbara Bigford says:
I would wear this colorful jacket with a casual yet fitted solid color skirt, just above the knee. The skirt’s material would have to have a ‘stretch’ type fabric for comfort yet will align itself well to the lines that give your jacket that sleek, tailored looked without being ‘tight’.. A well fitted jacket is a must to give that stylish Put-Together look without trying too hard. My daughter and I share lots of garments and I too, find that she will most likely wear this outfit and present her own flair by complimenting the look with accessories.
Carolyn "Cally" says:
I second the statement(s) that this jacket is so versatile…wear during the holidays or anytime with slacks, jeans, long velvet skirt, etc. It’s also a good “go to” jacket for mommy-to-be because of the lines. There is no stoping this jacket! Good going Minicucci and Marcanio.
Betsy Palmer says:
Red jeans and a black T
MoonRae says:
Today I’d wear it with my teal silk blouse and jeans(maybe my Matisse oxfords) and who knows what else, it’s a perfectly beautiful versatile jacket!! thanks for the wonderful opportunity
Sharon
Sue says:
I’d wear a pair of slim jeans and booties.
Nancy Norris (Bunnie) says:
I would wear a pair of jeans that are tight at the ankle and long. I would wear a white blouse,cotton
with lace in a few strategic places,gold bangles and a great leather tanned belt.The kind that Keisslestein-Cord used to make.I’ve no doubt misspelled that.I then would slip on some very yummie leather boots for now,later on a pair of mid heels in any tone from that jacket.You could live for years looking fab in that jacket.Well,I wish I could afford it,then I would not have to moan about waiting to see if I’m picked!It WOULD be nice though……..
kate60 says:
pearls-several strands in different lengths,some gold too, a black tee shirt and jeans,Hermes belt and black high-top sneakers
cathiecoats says:
Anything but a bathing suit! Great with jeans, pencil skirt, flirty skirt…bring it to me!
NoreenB says:
Not only perfect for pairing with work pants or jeans, this would be perfect with a sleeveless sheath in the office, or even an a-line skirt with boots!
Mary says:
Dark jeans!
lisa danchick says:
I would love this jacket…I would wear it all the time! It would look great with a pair of dark colored jeans and a silk blouse that matches one of the colors in the jacket with a coordinating silk scarf and a pair of brown boots.
Cheryl Sullivan says:
I’d wear dark jeans, a great pair of boots and a big smile!
Ianete says:
I would wear it with everything. Solid-color dresses, denim skirts and tops, regular skirts and tops, jeans–simply everything. It is fabulous.
mandradany says:
This jacket is great for all seasons and most of all because it is multicolored, I would wear my solid colored shirts, my favorite red sleeveless shirts or my fabulous savvy teal ruffled shirt to dress it up. This is a very versatile jacket, colorful and that leather brown trim makes it one of a kind to go with jeans, slacks and skirts.
arlenes says:
The “Avery”jacket goes with everything. However, I would pair it with jeans and boots to match the trim at the shoulder and pockets. Love the cut, but am a little concerned the sleeves will be too snug for my arms.
This piece is an inspiration to pick up my machine again, and create fun, functional fashion.
Would be honored to sport this jacket.
Donita Rensberger says:
I would wear a teal blouse and Charcoal pants!
Ida says:
Black pants or skirt and any one-color blouse. It is for the evening and for work, but it can be weared with practically anything.
Camille Noonan says:
I would wear this jacket with a real good pair of jeans (not Mommy jeans). I would also wear either a nice ivory silk blouse and pick out one of the more dominant colors in the jacket-either the palimino brown or the tourquoise (I would lean to the tourquoise) pumps (pant nylons). I would add an Ivory clutch bag and a chunky charm bracelet and earrings with some of the same color of the pump. I think this would be a smashing outfit. Making sure nails are Ivory. I see this as very tasteful-meeting someone for lunch. The Jacket is amazing!
diana shenderovich says:
black tailored pants and good quality tshirt
Fran Herzig says:
Jeans, of course, with a white shirt and dark brown tie. That’s what I call a perfect outfit!. The jacket really is beautiful. You are very talented.
Margarida says:
With the “Avery” jacket I would wear a simple dark tailored skirt, black tights and a pristine white blouse. I am so excited about this giveaway, because I want a tween jacket- I already have the British accent.
roxanne says:
I would wear a pear of soft black pants.If night time I would go silk not being afraid to mix the two types of materials.If daytime I would like a mixed medium weight black durable material for a longlasting classic pairiing with the tweed.I would look FAB in both cases.
smfsprout says:
This is such a versatile jacket. I can see myself wearing it with slacks for a dressy look or with jeans for a more casual look.
Barbara says:
What would I wear with this jacket? I can see it with a pair of jeans, a skirt, with a scarf or without, dressed up, dressed down….what a versatile piece of clothing! Thsi will be a real ‘go to’ item!
Deborah says:
I’d wear dark colored pants or jeans!
