Fall Collection

Hi Everyone - Fall is around the corner! Maybe we won't be wearing winter clothes for a while yet, but it is now time to plan ahead, get a fall wardrobe started and think about what we want to wear for Thanksgiving and the Christmas Holiday season. Come and see me (803 708 2772 for appointments) and I can help you with this, as well as design perfect outfits for you or separates to update some of the items you already have in your closet.

So, here are a few of my ideas, translating USA and international fashion trends for fall/winter 2014/15:

1) Fringe and the Kimono Jacket - long fringing, trimming jackets, cardigans and dresses:


Here's a grey animal print fringed, loose kimono style jacket with a velvet, lace and fur scarf draped around the neck (not attached).

Below is my more figure-enhancing fitted kimono style with fringe, a V-shaped hemline, multi-texture, mixed black fabrics including velvet and lace. Looks great over vibrant colors and also all black underneath. I wore white to show you the definition. These can be made in any colours and any sizes.



2) Long Cardigans. Again, I put this one one with white so you can see all the different textures of lace panelling that make this style so tactile and so distinctive. I would typically wear it over darker colours, however, and it looks great with all black underneath, too:




3) High-waisted wide-leg pants (seen here with my new, multi-texture bell-sleeved crop top, another trend - but not suitable for everyone so I also make this top in a longer version to order. You'll notice, too, that I usually make my crop tops so that they only show an inch of flesh, more flattering:


4) Trend - animal prints: Here's a similar high-waisted pants outfit in grey and denim blues, with a snakeskin print on the pants and a flattering, empire-line dress with my signature asymmetrical hemline as well as lace inserts:
Different top - crop plus bell sleeves


5) Black and White - perennial favorite, back again this year:

Sweatshirt with floral detail 
Lace Bolero with matching belt 
Lace Tunic
6) Aztec Prints - in any style, pants, shirts, dresses, jackets, you name it, Aztec-y, zigzaggy prints are in. Here's my Aztec jacket. This one looks great over grey, black, green or white and can be ordered in a number of plain or printed fabrics, and different weights:

7) Party Dresses: Basic black is always a safe bet and I've come up with some interesting texture combinations so there is nothing basic about my black.  These dresses would look great with a couple more of this season's trends: long tassel necklaces and black short leather jackets:








More dress designs to start you thinking about the holidays:














This is a tunic to go over pants really,
but looks good as a dress too




Great over black leggings and boots for winter!
