Recently for class I did an journalism entry on Alice + Olivia and it left me in awe. I knew of the designer and have liked her pieces, but reading about her story and actually diving into her lines, I just fell in love with line. Her story begins with a pair of jeans which she created into a pair of trousers that were feminine and elongated the legs,but my favorite part is that she was designing sites for other people when this fell into her lap. Many of us dream that someone whose well known, say Lisa Kline, would stop us on the street and demand our business. Chances are it isn’t going to happen unless you are young Stacey Bendet.
Her clothing is designed for every kind of woman or the woman you wish to be. Her dresses not only look beautiful but can make you feel beautiful. Her eye for details and mixing patterns is a talent not many posses. I absolutely love the edgy, rock-n-roll look that is slightly romantic. Below are a couple of my favorite pieces found on http://www.aliceandolivia.com
disclaimer: I’m fully aware everything is black & white, but you just cannot go wrong with these two colors!
