My team and I are currently working on a small debut collection for February. I’m really focusing on great tailoring and beautiful fabrics. While this will be expressed through day dresses, skirts, and outerwear, the centerpiece of the collection will be our family of jackets. Designed to be worn over any of our dresses or with any of the skirts, these jackets are created for the modern professional woman who is interested in quality above quantity and is focused on items that work in a variety of combinations and situations. Always open to fun and adventure, she’ll accept an offer to meet friends for a drink after work. This drink can often lead to dinner and beyond without time to do more than swap her shoes. Each of the jackets is named after one of the amazing women I have met in my life, in Atlanta, New York, London, and beyond. My hope is that the piece will carry a bit of its namesake’s personality.
On all the garments, lines run across her body, playing with proportion and working to make everything as flattering as possible. If anything, I would say the collection is about flattering lines. I’ve drawn much inspiration from the master tailors of Paris (Alaia, Mugler, Saint Laurent, Lagerfeld, etc.) and really am striving to create pieces that will remain beautiful and relevant for many, many years to come. My goal is to create clothes that will one day be borrowed/stolen by my clients’ future daughters and granddaughters.
