For her debut collection, Erin Barr was inspired by Marilyn Monroe. But while looking at the Wisconsin-born designer‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation, you won’t find the media-adored, glammed-up version of Monroe. Instead, you’ll discover the iconic bombshell as she is off the set and in her own clothes. About these ads Continue reading »

Beading Brazil: Farah Angsana Spring/Summer 2013
Inspired by Brazil, Farah Angsana allowed her Spring/Summer 2013 collection to transition from black and white to long chiffon gowns in an array of colors, like sky blue, green and orange, also featuring a coral and turquoise beading (which was used on two of my favorite pieces found three and four looks before the finale).

The Sinister Side of Spring: Rochambeau SS13
When my invitation to Rochambeau‘s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation arrived in the mail, I was ecstatic.

The Debutante: Marissa Webb SS2013
If I were ever asked to choose one womenswear collection of Spring/Summer 2013 that truly embodied my style aesthetic, it would most certainly be Marissa Webb‘s debut lineup. In fact, after viewing the presentation, I don’t know a single girl who wouldn’t take her pick from this awesome loot, whether for a first date or … Continue reading »
