It's been one crazy roller coaster ride into my next career journey. Extremely long days and endless amounts of information, but at the end of the day I am so thankful for where I am. I am around the top hot and new designer labels. So fun, the designs fill me with excite and craz! It's a styling center of luxury. Along with viewing such amazing pieces, I've been paired with some striking woman who know designers, fabric, and thread count like the back of their hand... a whole other level. I can't wait to keep "sucking" up all the more information from these amazing woman and keep adding onto all the "little bits" I graduated with.
Zadig and Voltaire
Launched by French designer Theirry Gillier, he previously worked at Yves Saint Laurent. In 2003 he took on Swedish model Cecilia Bonstrom and three years later promoted her to artistic director. The designs epitomize laid-back luxe with a cool-girl twist.
Helmut Lang
Australian-born fashion designer and artist Helmut Lang created the brand in 1986. The brand still exists today but has been carried on without Lang's involvement since 2005. Known for his minimalist, deconstructivist, and often severe designs.
Rag & Bone
Marcus Wainwright and David Neville founded Rag & Bone in 2002 with one purpose: designing everyday apparel that they and their friends would love to wear. Each piece in their dynamic line of modern sportswear is impeccably crafted, undeniably classic and always cool.
M Missoni
Launched in 1998 as an imaginative reinterpretation of Missoni's inimitable Italian style. Its easy chic pieces are fresh and unique, while staying true to their distinctive design heritage. Expect statement knits and glamorous off-duty staples in rich colors and signature weaves.
T by Alexandar Wang
Launched in 2009 consists of sleek laid-back basics. Slouchy pants, relaxed tees, and draped cardigans... all your urban style staples.
Rachel Zoe
Elizabeth and James
Launched by Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth and James is a trendy contemporary line named after two of their siblings. The collection echo's the pair's well-documented electric personal style. You can choose from a chic blend of masculine yet tailored blazers, shirts and ruched satin dresses. I personally love this line of theirs because they have it all from girlie to men tailor inspiration.
Theyskens Theory
Making his mark as artistic director at Nina Ricci and Rochas, Olivier Theyskens joined forces with New York-based label Theory to form a Theyskens Theory in 2010. The Belgian-born Parisian has injected his ubiquitous cool into everything from sharp tailored shirts and blazers to perfectly cut jeans.
3.1 Phillip Lim
My all time obsession at the moment! 3.1 Phillip Lim is cool, contemporary and utterly feminine. The label launched in 2005 instantly attracting celebs such as Kate Bosworth and Natalie Portman. The designers clean cut silhouettes, pared-back palettes and clever fabric combinations meet all the demands of a modern wardrobe, fusing understated luxury with a truly unique New York feel.
French couturier Madame Carmen de Tommaso established Carven in 1945 with an atelier on the Champs-Elysees, and her clientele quickly grew to include screen stars and royals alike. Now, with former Givenchy designer Guillaume Henry at the creative helm, the fashion house is opening an exciting new chapter in ready-to-wear and accessories. Look out for statement cocktail dresses, perfectly cropped pants and super cool sunglasses! You would never guess there is age behind this label.
L'Agence
LA based brand is spot on when it comes time to key pieces. Launched in 2008 by stylist rep Margaret Maldonado each season is guest - designed by a different stylist so you know the items will be on trend.
Majestic
Milly
Founded by Michelle Smith, she has worked at luxury fashion houses Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Dior after graduating from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. Launched in 2001, her sumptuous vintage-inspired brand of glamour has earned the label multiple fans, including Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz. I love its vibrant prints and party-perfect pieces.
