My latest find, <a href="http://www.sarashepherd.com/Collections.html" target="_blank">Sara Shepherd</a>, is originally from Britain but has since jumped continents. She now calls San Francisco home and her hybrid of American and British influences has resulted in an amazing and meticulous collection of clothing.</p> <p>Two years after graduating from the Academy of Art University in 2005, the designer debuted her first collection in 2007. </p> <p>In her third collection to date, Shepherd shows off her masterful skills in tailoring creating a modern menswear-inspired line. Her amazing cape coat - seen left - is just one example of her eye for fine detailing. I fancy how she mixes masculine cuts with feminine details. Shepherd's been heralded as an emerging designer, so don't say I didn't warn you!</p> <p>To see more of Sara's Fall collection, read more.<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.fabsugar.com/2390992'>View 10 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.fabsugar.com/2390989#comment Designer Spotlight Sara Shepherd Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:00:22 -0800 FabSugar http://www.fabsugar.com/2390989 http://www.fabsugar.com/2390992 <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/2390992"><img width=107 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3987/43_2008/e96298f05613ba28_1largeaw08.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/2390992'></a> </div> <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/2390992?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.fabsugar.com/2390992#comment Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:05:57 -0700 FabSugar http://www.fabsugar.com/2390992
