Fall 2013 Collection
Inspired by the dramatic silhouettes, cooler nautical pant styles, and interesting day dress seaming from the 1930s, my designs mimic the geometric lines characteristic of the Art Deco period. This collection pieces divergent fabrics like leather, brushed twill, denim, sateen, georgette, and washed silk, creating a contrast between matte and shiny, heavy and light. Look for bold, graphic pieces that play with proportion yet maintain a feminine sensibility.
