Designer Spotlight
Designer Spotlight: MK2K
You may have heard of edgy clothing line MK2K — it's a celebrity favorite. Judging from its unique pieces (I love that cutout blazer, center) it's easy to see why so many swear by Michelle Kim's designs.It all started when Kim couldn't find a sweater that was functional, stylish, and inexpensive. So in August 2006, MK2K started offering contemporary knits that retail for under $200.
Designer Spotlight: Emu
Did you know the emu is Australia's national bird? I bet PetSugar does. Emu Australia is an Australian-based sheepskin footwear brand inspired by the bird's exceptional resourcefulness — it lives on little food and water in the desert.
Designer Spotlight: Caroline Hedeya
This is a story about two girls, Caroline and Donna, who were destined to become stylish bosom buddies. Before they met at F.I.T., the two led parallel lives hoping to become fashion designers one day. Shortly after graduating, Caroline and Donna combined their quirky ideas to create Caroline Hedaya, a genesis of Caroline's graceful touches with Donna's architectural aesthetic.
Designer Spotlight: CRHEE
Complexity versus ease: That's what CRHEE's Spring/Summer '10 collection explores. Luxurious silk fabrics are used in bold jewel tones and rhythmic prints — the result is dark romance, light sensuality. This season, designer Christine Rhee was inspired by everything from the photography of Guy Bordin, David Fincher videos, to muses Diana Ross and Diane von Furstenberg.
Designer Spotlight: Madeleine Thompson
There's nothing better than slipping into a cozy cashmere sweater right about now. Yes, it's a splurge, but also a classic. In fact, my favorite heather gray cashmere sweater is five years old — and still going strong.
Designer Spotlight: Pavon by Luz & Victoria
Shine on, you crazy diamond. That's what Pavon by Luz & Victoria's Spring/Summer '10 says. It's called Odyssey, after all.
Designer Spotlight: H Fredriksson
Some designers are influenced by art and nature, and others, like Helena Fredriksson, are affected by Ingmar Bergman's trippy, psychoanalytic films. Using sustainable fabrics and practices, the Brooklyn dweller visited the dark side for Fall, offering up a variety of draped dresses, moody Nordic-print tops, and avant-garde skirts. Her modern cuts are to die for and I'm entranced by her gloomy, romantic vibe.
Designer Spotlight: PH8
Alexander Wang isn't the only one inspired by sports. Set to replace BEBESPORT Nov. 5, PH8's take on sportswear is super sexy, slouchy pieces that aren't gym exclusive.
Designer Spotlight: Annie Havlicek
Finding hidden talent is my mission in life — I love sharing undiscovered treasures with you. Annie Havlicek, for example, is a prodigy in the making. After studying at the prestigious Parsons School of Design, the designer took on a bunch of internships at various powerhouses, such as Michael Kors, before embarking on her own line.
Designer Spotlight: Mink Pink
It was not too long ago that I got to know Mink Pink. First I spotted its silky LBD with studs on a website, then on Gabrielle Union at an InStyle party. I knew there had to be more fabulousness where that came.
