Designer Spotlight: Rachel Comey

July 20, 2007

I've had a mini-crush on Rachel Comey for some time now - especially after making eye contact with these dual-tone flats. But designer Rachel Comey lends her expertise to more than just lustworthy shoes: she could outfit you from top to bottom if you wanted. She started out with a job at Theory, then she broke off and made menswear - (David Bowie was a fan). Finally, she's come to her senses and made something for the ladies.; I love her vintage-inspired aesthetic!

A few pieces from the Spring collection are on sale at Refinery29Shops, $125-$244.

It might be late. The pants and shoes remind me of Balenciaga from two f/w seasons ago, but I don't think I'll ever let go of that wonderful season.

Uninspired? Who's to say it's uninspired?I LOVE IT.It's simple. It's clean. It's malleable. There is incredible detail within the cuts themselves. I love the big wedges. They're incredible. Can you imagine wearing those? I would feel so happy. I'd constantly look at my feet!I love the mittens. I'd buy them. Big, warm and cozy. They'd make me feel more Scandanavian than I already am.I love the pants too. They'd only look great on a tall thin girl though.I don't understand why everyone dislikes this collection. Each to their own, though. I love all of the shapes. It looks like it would be so much fun to wear. It would be a blast to get dressed, playing with all the different shapes and sizes.

I don't like the collection. Those really do look like oven mitts!lol. When I look at the clothes, all I can think is "Does the designer suffer from depression?" The colors and shapes are just so sad to look at.

This is quite amusing. Is that a pair of oven mitts? And the shoes look like they are from Star Wars

What's up with the oven mitts? I don't know how to describe the shoes, but they're all kinds of ugly.

Uh, this is pretty ridiculous. I guess she has the big puffy mittens to soften the blow when she falls from those ridiculous looking high shoes. Blech! :sick:
