Loeffler Randall Spring 2012
>> Activewear that hits a highly feminized note is a big story for next season — and Loeffler Randall's Spring 2012 collection manages to strike that sporty-pretty balance perfectly. Here, designer Jessie Randall has mixed tech fabrics like Velcro, mesh, and wetsuit neoprene with natural materials like raffia, leather, and canvas — all in a Fragonard-inspired palette of Popsicle pinks, delicate nudes, and Springtime greens. Silhouettes are easy going with plenty of appeal; amidst Randall's signature twist-knot flats, there are also chunky platforms and high-rise pumps as well as a new round-peg heel shape. Also in the mix: metallic polka-dots, textural snakeskin, and a nice dose of contrast neon. Click through to see the whole collection, now.
Loeffler Randall Fall 2009 Hoofs It with Buckles
>> Jessie Randall has been doing clothes for just short of two years now, but they're like a good accessory to those Loeffler Randall shoes — which got her all the attention in the first place. For Fall 2009, it's all about the buckled boots — her sell-out knee-high boot has newly-found tiers of buckles added on, and a hidden platform ankle bootie is covered with mini-buckles all up the front; but let's not forget the clothes, which like the Loeffler Randall shoes, find success in looking appropriately modern, but classic enough to carry over from season to season.

Fab Flash: Loeffler Randall Coming To Target

Hot on the heels of handbag designers Devi Kroell and Rafe New York, Jessie Randall of Loeffler Randall has been tapped as the next designer to create an accessories line for Target!
The collection will debut in early 2008, and judging from Randall's CFDA-winning past designs, I expect fabulous bags with wallet-friendly prices to come out of this!
