The designer is inspired by 20s fashions, and it shows in the ethereal, exquisite designs. Perfect blouses, crepe dresses, the occasional dainty t-strap. Some of the shapes do work better, I think, on a 20s (read: boyish) figure - a non-issue for me as I'm not on a Lyell (read: $$$) budget, but still something to sigh over! (That said, found a perfect cashmere coat on super-sale last year and it still makes me happy every time I see it, even if it was wholly impractical and can only be worn over dresses.)
I also love the salesgirls here, who are uniformly cool and don't judge if you're just there to drool.
I deducted a star because the models on their site are always emaciated children (no, literally, they look ten) which I find unappealing and unhelpful, as it's even harder than usual to tell how the clothes fit a grown-up body. read more
